Musical Semantics
The Unanswered Question - Six Talks at Harvard by Leonard Bernstein
S01E03 January 25, 1976 142 min
Overview
Semantics is the study of meaning in language, and Bernstein's third lecture, "musical semantics", accordingly, is Bernstein's first attempt to explain meaning in music. Although Bernstein defines musical semantics as "meaning, both musical and extramusical" (p. 9) this lecture focuses exclusively on the "musical" version of meaning.
