What is Unsung Voices: Opera and Musical Narrative in the Nineteenth Century: Opera and Musical Narrative in the Nineteenth Century about?

Who "speaks" to us in __The Sorcerer's Apprentice,__ in Wagner's operas, in a Mahler symphony? In asking this question, Carolyn Abbate opens nineteenth-century operas and instrumental works to new interpretations as she explores the voices projected by music. The nineteenth-century metaphor of music that "sings" is thus reanimated in a new context, and Abbate proposes interpretive strategies that "de-center" music criticism, that seek the polyphony and dialogism of music, and that celebrate musical gestures often marginalized by conventional music analysis.
