Is it possible to designate the specific character of music with a synthetic formula? Or, in other words, what is music? This book addresses the fundamental questions linked to the definition of music as a concept and the changes this conception has undergone in the Western cultural tradition from antiquity to the present day. It explores how music has been interpreted through history, from Pythagorean numerical proportions to the 'theory of affects' in the early modern period and the romantic conceptions of the 18th century.
