Music and its Lovers - An Empirical Study of Emotional and Imaginative Responses to music

This book contains Vernon Lee’s 1933 study on responses to music, "Music And Its Lovers - An Empirical Study Of Emotional And Imaginative Responses To Music". The study consists of twenty-six questions on topics ranging from perceived meaning to associations and memories, the results and analysis of which make up this volume. This intriguing investigation will appeal to those with keen interest in music and music theory, and it is not to be missed by collectors of antiquarian literature of this ilk. Vernon Lee was the pen-name of the British author Violet Paget (1856 - 1935), who is best remembered for her supernatural novels and her work on aesthetics. Many old texts such as this are increasingly rare and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing "Music And Its Lovers" now in an affordable, modern edition - complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
