Heinrich Schenker
Originally published in 1966, the Reeseschrift remains one of the most significant collections of musicological writings ever assembled. Its fifty-six essays, written by some of the greatest scholars of our time, range chronologically from antiquity to the 17thcentury and geographically from Byzantium to the British Isles. They deal with questions of history, style, form, texture, notation, and performance practice.
El cosmógrafo e historiador Juan Bautista Muñoz (1745-1799)

Music and Culture in Eighteenth-Century Europe
This book collects key writings about eighteenth century music . It brings together for the first time in one place, a wide selection of essential documents not only about music theory and practice, but about the historical, philosophical, aesthetic, ideological, and literary debates which held sway during a century when musical thought and criticism gained a privileged position in the culture of Europe. Enrico Fubini offers a sampling of English, French, German, and Italian writings on topics ranging from Enlightenment rationalism and the theories of harmony to German musical culture and the polemics on J. S. Bach. Organized by topic and historical period these selections go beyond writings...

The Sciences of the Soul
Fernando Vidal’s trailblazing text on the origins of psychology traces the development of the discipline from its appearance in the late sixteenth century to its redefinition at the end of the seventeenth and its emergence as an institutionalized field in the eighteenth. Originally published in 2011, The Sciences of the Soul continues to be of wide importance in the history and philosophy of psychology, the history of the human sciences more generally, and in the social and intellectual history of eighteenth-century Europe.
Idea de la Ilustración: Estudios sobre la Escuela Universalista
No es en modo alguno ocioso debatir acerca de la Ilustración, sobre todo si se observa que los contenidos rutinariamente aceptados que le dan forma son incompletos o no son justamente consistentes. La deficiencia del ideario ilustrado es asumible en tanto que la razón es siempre limitada en su confrontación con la realidad, pero no es asumible cuando es resultado del ideologismo y este, por principio, se encuentra incapacitado para comprender la historia o la realidad. Si el a priori cultural requiere por principio de la no consciencia de sí mismo, sucede que en la época contemporánea, justo aquella suscitada por la Ilustración, la configuración del a priori cultural con suma facilid...
Opera in Theory and Practice, Image and Myth
The History of Italian Opera marks the first time a team of scholars has worked together to investigate the entire Italian operatic tradition, rather than limiting its focus to major composers and their masterworks. Including both musicologists and historians of other arts, the contributors approach opera not only as a distinctive musical genre but also as a form of extravagant theater and a complex social phenomenon. This sixth volume in the series centers on the sociological and critical aspects of opera in Italy, considering the art in the context of an Italian literary and cultural canon rarely revealed in English and American studies. In its six chapters, contributors survey critics' changing attitudes toward opera over several centuries, trace the evolution of formal conventions among librettists, explore the historical relationships between opera and Italian literature, and examine opera's place in Italian popular and national culture. In perhaps the volume's most striking contribution, German scholar Carl Dahlouse offers his most important statement on the dramaturgy of opera.
