  • Strauss's Capriccio and the terror of time

    Open AccessRaymond MonelleARTICLESemiotica2011References: 1

    Strauss's opera Capriccio of 1942 may be viewed as pure escapism, a fantasy about the question of the primacy of words or music in opera, set in eighteenth-century France. It is, however, in several ways a denial of time: dramatic time, in that it has no plot or denouement; historic time, in that it ignores the crisis of war and violence contemporary with its performance; cultural time, in that its musical style is self-consciously reactionary an…

  • Music as Discourse

    Raymond MonelleARTICLEMusic and Letters2010

    It is good to be blessed with surprise, and Kofi Agawu’s new book offers two surprises.

  • BWV 886 as allegory of listening

    Raymond MonelleARTICLEContemporary Music Review1997

    The reader's reading of a text parallels the author's reading of life in that text. Thus, while the text is an allegory of life, some texts, because of their levels of authoriality, are also allegories of reading, as De Man suggests. In these texts, metaphors fall apart into metonymies. Music is more apt than literature to deconstruct itself in this way. The A flat fugue in the second book of Bach's “48”, BWV 886, which is an extension of an earl…
