«Musique» is the philosophical essay by Michel Serres, published by Le Pommier in paperback (166 pages, in French).
Michel Serres explains what music is through three narratives: a legendary one, with Orpheus and his search for Eurydice; an autobiographical one, in which knowledge becomes a symphony; and a biblical one, from Genesis to the Nativity. For him, music is the deepest language of the world and of living beings.
The work was published in 2011 and belongs to the Essais & Documents collection; it is catalogued as a philosophical-musical essay (ML3800, Dewey 780).
