Music PsychologyAuthor(s): Ernst Kurth, Daphne Tan, Christoph Neidhfer\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: Routledge\nISBN-13: 9781032201467, 978-1032201467\nSynopsis\nThe first edition of Ernst Kurths Musikpsychologie appeared in 1931, and was regarded by contemporaneous psychologists as no less than the foundation for a new systematic approach to the perception and cognition of music. Time has hardly diminished Kurths standing as an original scholar with a distinctive point of view. Music theorists, both in Europe and North America, regard him as an important figure in the history of music theory. Daphne Tan and Christoph Neidhfers first full translation provides English-speaking theorists the opportunity to delve deeper into his ideas. Indeed, Kurths concerns listening habits and habituation, metaphorical language, the limits of memory, and the role of the body in music experience, to name a few are shared by many in the field today,.
