Abstract:

Explores the roles that translation plays in a musical context, questioning
the transference of sense between music and text.

‘This volume issues a powerful challenge to everyone who uses the word
“translation” in relation to music. The sheer diversity of its essays
demonstrates, as no previous book has, the extraordinary intellectual and
artistic fertility of bringing together the notions of music and translation –
and the dangers of thinking we know what we’re talking about.’ – Peter
Dayan, The University of Edinburgh, UK.
