About this document
Weber French 36 by VANNI MONTANARI is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document discusses how music is generally thought to express sentiments but cannot truly depict things related to the intellect like madness, ecstasy, and mysticism. It analyzes several examples of madness in operas and argues that the music itself does not actually portray madness differently than normal states of mind. A few examples of supposed ecstasy in operas are also examined with a similar argument that the music is not uniquely suited to depict those heightened emotional and mental states.
