Music & Sentiment
Acclaimed pianist and writer Charles Rosen explores music’s profound ability to convey emotion through sound. How does
a work of music stir the senses, creating feelings of joy, sadness, elation, or nostalgia? Though sentiment and emotion play
a vital role in the composition, performance, and appreciation of music, rarely have these elements been fully observed. In
this succinct and penetrating book, Charles Rosen draws upon more than a half century as a performer and critic to reveal
how composers from Bach to Berg have used sound to represent and communicate emotion in mystifyingly beautiful ways.
