Review # 1 was written on 2015-03-24 00:00:00 Robert Carriedo Levinson's basic idea is as shallow as "You don't need to know about architecture and construction engineering to appreciate - or "fundamentally understand" - the result of these activities (e.g. a building) in the moment". What a revelation. |
Review # 2 was written on 2020-03-26 00:00:00 Justin J Freville This book is great, and I'm a music theorist! (Although admittedly I do go a bit against the grain...) The one-star review, IMO, misses the point entirely. For one, Levinson's point is precisely about disanalogies between the temporal art of music and media such as architecture that are "there all at once." For another, the division between the composer's cognitively-driven designs and "the result of these processes" is not transparent in music. Finally, it's not even obvious that architecture can be appreciated without knowledge in the robust sense the reviewer assumes; maybe it can, but it's not self-evident. Even less so for music, hence Levinson's wonderful book. |
