Operatic recitative style and minimalist's reiteration pitch patterns are also experimented. Throughout the composition irregular rhythms, pauses and rests are have significant meanings and purposes....

Martina Stratilková

Musicologica Olomucensia vol. 28, (2018):165-178 | DOI: 10.5507/mo.2018.027  

Moritz Geiger, Edmund Husserl's pupil, was the first phenomenologist to devote himself to the issues of aesthetics throughout all his life. Growing out of a background in psychological aesthetics, mainly the aesthetics of empathy, he was chiefly concerned with the study of aesthetic experience. The present article pays attention to Geiger's concept of aesthetic enjoyment and especially the position in it of music, while analysing the most important assumptions of Eduard Hanslick's music aesthetics as Geiger implemented them into his own reasoning. The paper shows that Geiger's position was mainly rooted in the Kantian formulation of the aesthetic attitude...
