Ombra

Viac o knihe

Exploring the concept of ombra, Clive McClelland delves into the use of music to evoke awe and terror, particularly during the eighteenth century. The book highlights a diverse repertoire, with a special emphasis on Mozart, and examines both theatrical and sacred compositions. McClelland connects these musical elements to Edmund Burke's notion of the 'sublime of terror,' situating ombra music within the broader framework of eighteenth-century aesthetic theory.
