Joseph Kerman

    3. apríl 1924 – 17. marec 2014

    Joseph Kerman bol americký hudobný vedec a kritik. Patril k popredným osobnostiam svojho odboru, ktorého práca predstavovala pre hudobnú vedu prelomový okamih. Kerman skúmal hĺbky hudby, nielen z technického hľadiska, ale aj z hľadiska jej vplyvu na ľudskú dušu a spoločnosť. Jeho analýzy vynikali prenikavosťou a schopnosťou prepojiť hudobné diela s širšími kultúrnymi a filozofickými kontextami.
