ABSTRACT

This short book explores the psychological nature of classical music as a genre in relation to modernity, along the axis interiority/exteriority, describing the genre’s nature as increasingly contrasting with the way Western civilization has developed since the Enlightenment. The central argument is, that classical music – with its core repertoire as a product of the past – has become something like a therapeutic cure in terms of emotional experience relating to universal human needs. Various themes are approached from this central idea, including the need to reformulate man’s relationship with the natural environment, and human nature.
