Klappentext zu „On Music “
Opinionated and example-filled, this extremely concise and accessible book provides a survey of some fundamental and longstanding debates about the nature of music. The central arguments and ideas of historical and contemporary philosophers are presented with the goal of making them as accessible as possible to general readers who have no background in philosophy. The emphasis is on instrumental music, but examples are drawn from many cultures as well as from Western classical, jazz, folk, and popular music.

Rezension zu „On Music “
This is a great introduction to the philosophy of music - accessible yet sophisticated and comprehensive - that is distinguished by the range and variety of musical examples with which it illustrates the issues. Stephen Davies, University of Auckland Ted Gracyk's On Music is the best brief overview there is of the core philosophical questions about music. It's a great introduction to philosophy for music-lovers, packed with a wide range of pertinent musical examples, from birdsong to bluegrass, Romanticism to ragas. And for those already familiar with the questions it is a rare opportunity to see how a philosopher at the top of his game sees one set of answers hanging together - a unified vision of the nature and value of music. Andrew Kania, Trinity University
