Modes of Communication in Stravinsky�s Works: Sign and Expression (Routledge Research in Music)

Summary

• Per Dahl presents a model of communication that unveils a clear and logical understanding of Stravinsky's heritage, based on the extant material available.
• From this, Dahl argues the case for Stravinsky's music and his ideas as separate entities, representing different modes of communication.
• As well as describing a triangular model of communication, based on a tilted and extended version of Ogden's triangle, Dahl presents an empirical investigation of Stravinsky's vocabulary of signs and expressions in his published scores - his communicative mode towards musicians.
