An interdisciplinary volume on Salvatore Sciarrino's composition Vanitas —with musicological, literary, and art-historical approaches to the aesthetics of transience.

This analysis examines Hans-Joachim Hespos' compositional strategies between excessive demands, theatricality, and notation, and shows how his works deliberately work with ambiguities in interpretation and reception.

A multifaceted musical aesthetic that understands music as an autonomous form of expression with its own cognitive quality. For anyone who wants to understand music more deeply.
