You can also view the lectures on youtube. It's probably helpful to view them at the very least for the parts where he refers to certain musical phrases and such as he plays them on the piano.

Thanks anon
I'm a fan of Ives so this looks pretty interesting
bumping with stockhausen

>>8980012
Ives's mixture of atonality and tonality is genius

medieval religiousy people and clerics and stuff are bound to have written on this sort of thing. this dude i like called boethius wrote quite a bit on it. von bingen's stuff might be up your alley. a shitload of prominent philosophers wrote on music theory tbqh. the kreutzer sonata is also a pretty good book, though fiction. gunna monitor this thread out of interest. im really high sorry fuck

thank you anon
Yeah I assumed philosophers would write plenty about it, probably some I'm already aware of
I'm pretty sure adorno talked about music a lot

That's what I started this thread in mind for. I couldn't really think of any other than maybe Wagner and maybe a few Librettos I'm forgetting

Berlioz has an autobiogrpahy, someone mentioned he might have missed his true calling as an author, need to get around to reading it.

Just look for actual classical artist autobiographies.
