Notes

  1. Victor Yuckerkandl, Sound and Symbol, Music and the External World (London 1956), a study almost parallel to Ingarden’s dissertation on the musical composition. Other publications taking up more detailed themes include R. Reti The Thematic Process in Music (London 1961), an excellent supplement to Ingarden’s considerations on the issue of the totality of a musical composition.

  3. and D.L. Ferguson Music as Metaphor, The Elements of Expression (1960), as well as E. Newton, The Meaning of Beauty (Harmondsworth 1962), representing an approach to the matter of form and content of a musical composition and a work of art that is identical to the concept of Ingarden.
