The Musician and His Art
In this book, the author relentlessly pursues his intellectual aims by borrowing ideas from a wide range of disciplines : sociology, linguistics, cultural anthropology, acoustics, aesthetics, demography, economics, marketing finance, psycho-analysis, mythology, philosophy and even mathematics.
