Throughout his career, David Lewin laboured to make even the most abstract theory speak to the experience of the ordinary listener. This book combines manyof Lewin's classic articles on song and opera with newly drafted chapters on songs of Brahms, Robert Schumann, Clara Schumann, and Milton Babbitt. Bound together by Lewin's cogent insight, the resulting collection constitutes a majorstatement concerning the methodological problems associated with interpretation of texted music.
