Summary

In the Epilogue to this book, I turn away from the hypothetical subjects heard in music and to our own selves, as thinking, feeling, meaning-making subjects, as interpretants of music and our own subjectivity alike. Why are the notions of subjectivity associated with Schumann’s music still of relevance today? What is the work that music does that enables it to become one of our most cherished means for hearing ourselves, for self-recognition? And what are the attendant dangers – hermeneutic, aesthetic, but more significantly ethical – in such an endeavour?
