Description: Hi! You're looking at a SUPERB overall condition book which is RARE, hard to find and OUT OF PRINT and a classic analysis of emotion and meaning in music written by LEONARD B. MEYER--the book is a First Edition and Third Impression published in 1957 and a HARDCOVER with the ORIGINAL DUSTJACKET. This book is in SUPERB overall condition and the book itself has very slight dings on the lower opening tips, a partially removed owner's name plate on the center of the front board, slight browning on the binding edges of the boards and first / last pages, very slight dustwear on the page edges and just slight evidence of gentle browsing but no other significant imperfections; the dustjacket has very small tears on the spine and opening tips, a tiny tear on the upper center edge of the back surface, a small abrasion on the lower right edge of the front surface, light wear on the edges, a clipped upper corner of the front inner flap and just very light shelfwear otherwise but NO other significant imperfections! The book is titled Emotion and Meaning in Music and it was written by LEONARD B. MEYER; it was published by The University of Chicago Press in 1957 and is a 1st Edition and 3rd Impression copy.This is a classic book that explores the meaning of music and should be required reading for any student of music, be they composer, performer, or theorist. It clears the air of many confused notions and lays the groundwork for exhaustive study of the basic problem of music theory and aesthetics, the relationship between pattern and meaning. This one leaves no stone unturned.A fantastic find, and a beautiful copy of this book!Thanks for looking, and good luck if you're bidding!
