Pierre Lantz, Music and Politics
The critique of Rameau 's music by the Encyclopedists was not only aesthetic. In stressing harmony Rameau implied that music is founded upon the discovery of a general order of things where the relationships between sounds express emotional dynamics and where all political disorder can be resolved as so much dissonance. The Encyclopaedists, however, were opposed to cartesian premises and to Rameau 's static political vision. Rousseau 's opposition is even more systematic. For him, recourse to the human voice, oratory and melody was best adapted to revolutions and contrary to monarchy. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
