«L'âme de Hegel et les vaches du Wisconsin» is Alessandro Baricco's musical essay, published by Gallimard in paperback (130 pages, in French).
Baricco traces the history of music, from Beethoven to Sting, to explore its meaning in contemporary society. The title refers to a University of Wisconsin study according to which cows that listened to symphonic music increased their milk production by 7.5%, a starting point for a reflection on the current role of music.
Published in 2004 in the Folio collection.
For readers interested in the musical essay and in the relationship between music, culture and society.
