Summary

"Vladimir Jankelevitch left behind a remarkable oeuvre steeped as much in philosophy as in music. His writings on moral quandaries reflect a lifelong devotion to music and performance, and as a counterpoint, he wrote on music aesthetic and on modernist composers such as Taure, Debussy, and Ravel.

These are a point of departure for a sustained examination and dismantling of the idea of musical hermeneutics in its conventional sense."--Jacket.
