Music as Expression

English version of Hausegger's considerations on valuations in musical practice as an interaction between audience, performers and composers, first published in 1885. "[B]eneath the surface of a scientific treatise, Music as Expression offers a passionate and personal text on the present state and the future of music, and both its historical color and the idiosyncratic aspects of its literary style are an integral part of what Hausegger has to say." -- Andreas Dorschel, Preface
