Editorial Reviews

Review

"The volume shows that his work on music is not a by-way but belongs to the mainstream of his thought. For Rousseau, the volume shows, music is inseperable from the distinctive expressions of different human cultures and gives voice to the moral passions of the people. A brief but informative survey of the writings provides an excellent introduction to the substance of the volume . . . Invaluable to all serious students of Rousseau." --Choice --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
