"To pursue the philosophy of music is to contemplate music's nature, essence, purpose, value, and function in our lives. While the aesthetics of music looks at music's content, quality, meaning and importance, music philosophy often goes one step further. Ideas about something one perhaps believes is 'purely aesthetical' will of course always require consideration in relation to ideas about humanity, the world, politics and religion. In this sense, music aesthetics and music philosophy are two sides of the same coin. This is reflected in the texts presented in this collection, which provides a broad view of the current state of ideas about music in Norway. The authors, from PhD fellows to emeriti, represent different higher educational music institutions in Norway as well as different fields within music and philosophy. Their texts are on topics ranging from musical experience, music and language, meaning and interpretation of music, music and view of life, and others. The anthology's editors Øivind Varkøy and Henrik Holm are, respectively, professor of music education and director of the PhD program at the Norwegian Academy of Music and adjunct professor of music at Oslo Metropolitan University, and professor of philosophy and head of research at Rudolf Steiner University College in Oslo."

Der vorliegende Band Schweizer Jahrbuch für Musikwissenschaft empfängt (in Übereinstimmung mit der aktuellen redaktionellen Linie der Zeitschrift) Arbeiten von aktiven schweizerischen und ausländischen Forschern. So wird eine Vielschichtigkeit, nicht nur linguistisch, sondern auch kulturell und methodologisch garantiert, die die wunderbare Vielfalt der Schweizerischen Eidgenossenschaft reflektiert. Im Jahrbuch Nr. 37 berühren die Essays Themen mit antropologisch-kulturellen Ansätzen zur Archivforschung, die vom Mittelalter bis ins 20. Jahrhundert und von der Sakralmusik zur Instrumentalmusik reichen. Sie legen den Schwerpunkt vor allem auf die symbolischen Mechanismen der Parodie in der gesungenen Liturgie (Therese Bruggisser-Lanker), auf die kompositorischen Gründe der Nichtvollendung der 7. Sinfonie von Schubert (Yusuke Takamatsu) und auf die ästhetische Autonomie der Kunst in Krisenzeiten dank den Vergleichen von verschiedenen künstlerischen Erfahrungen in der Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts (Klaus Heinrich Kohrs). Die Briefe des berühmten Komponisten aus der französischen Schweiz, Gustave Doret, an wichtige französische Musiker (Delphine Vincent) sind in der neuen Dokumentenserie publiziert.--

The present sixth volume of the new historic-critical complete edition of Eduard Hanslicḱs works contains texts of the years 1862 to 1863, which are for the most part contributions from the Vienna "Presse". Some articles were published shortly after in national music journals such as the "Niederrheinische Musik-Zeitung" or the Berlin music journal "Echo". Hanslick revised som of them later for his well-known anthologies ("Die moderne Oper", aus dem Konzertsaal. Geschichte des Konzertwesens in Wien, II2). As before these texts were provided with lists of variant readings, which are printed subsequent to the respective article. The principles of publication were not changed. Minor variations are: different spelling, change from spaced writing to normal distance of characters or vice versa, smaller modification of the wording, updating or additions. Major changes mainly consist in leaving out large parts of the text or rearranging text passages from different sources to particular subjects. The fundamental change in Hanslicḱs occupation as a critic as can be seen exactly from the 1860s, that is his stronger attention to reviewing the performance cannot be substantiated by his own editions so well because he often left out parts related to the concert. From that point of view this edition provides not only a better survey of the Vienna concert life in these years than Hanslicḱs own edition but it also notes down in a much more precise way his changed approach to writing. Most of the texts, however, are completely unknown today. The main essay in the comment part deals with the music-aesthetic consequences of the phenomenon of boredom, the typical syndrome of the 19th century, which Hanslicḱs reviews shed some light on. It becomes clear that there are more criteria in Hanslick that are important for an assessment of a work than those laid down in "Vom Musikalisch-Schönen". An important position in Hanslicḱs life as a music critik take his trips to music festivals or world expositions. His travel diaries are still very informative and shown an open-minded cosmopolitan. Hanslicḱs report on the bustle of the 1862 word exposition in London from an initially neutral attitude of an observer seems in a certain way to turn into a surrealistic inferno of the arising modern age and confirms unconsciously what Walter Benjamin realized first and formulated in his "Passagenwerk". This matter is dealt with a particular length in the notes, which as before briefly characterize, annotate or analyse for its aesthetic relevance every single text. Added to the annotations is an excerpt from a letter by August Wilhelm Ambros, which illustrates some aspects from Hanslicḱs aesthetic of boredom from a different point of view.
