Publisher: Amsterdam University Press 2011
ISBN/ASIN: 9056296892
Number of pages: 25
In this essay Henkjan Honing makes a case for 'illiterate listening', the human ability to discern, interpret and appreciate musical nuances already from day one, long before a single word has been uttered, let alone conceived. It is the preverbal and preliterate stage that is dominated by musical listening.
