Summary:

We often say that music is Ineffable-that it does not refer to anything outside of itself and resists our efforts of description. In Deep Refrains, Michael Gallope draws together the writing of Arthur Schopenhauer, Friedrich Nietzsche, Ernst Bloch, Theodor Adorno, Vladimir Jankélévitch. Gilles Deleuze, and Félix Guattari in order to revisit the age-old question of music's ineffability from a modern Perspective. Through careful examinations of these thinker's historical context and philosophical orientations, close attention to their use of language, and new interpretations of musicals compositions that proved influential for their work, Deep Refrains helps us thinking through the ways music can address complex philosophical problems specific to the modern world.
