Abstract

"Music in the Flesh: An Early Modern Musical Physiology" by Bettina Varwig challenges the dominant musicological theory of German Baroque music known as Affektenlehre. Varwig argues that scholars need to move beyond the idea of music as representation and instead focus on the embodied experience of music. The book explores how early music shaped and was shaped by the bodies of performers and audiences, with a particular emphasis on the German lands and Lutheranism. Varwig's work combines analysis of music, theology, and medicine, making it relevant for those interested in early modern Germany. [Extracted from the article]
