Music, Encounter, Togetherness not only underscores that distinction, but it also raises it to the level of a Lebenswerk. This book is Cook at his finest, and it contains ideas, some from earlier research, others quite new, that represent his finest endeavors in the interdisciplinary intellectual spheres in which he works. * Philip V. Bohlman, author of World Music: A Very Short Introduction * Praise for Music: A Very Short Introduction (second edition, 2021) ""A magnificent achievement: I can't think of anyone in world musicology who could have done it better. * Roger Parker, Professor of Music (Emeritus), King's College London * Praise for Music as Creative Practice (2018) ""Cook's discussion of many interrelated topics, with a vast range of ideas overlapping and reinforcing each other, is virtuoso writing...As in all his writing, [he] goes a very long way in this book to clarify these issues, along with many other intriguing musicological concepts, and to stimulate debate in a most lucid and informative manner. * Sinan Carter Savaskan, Notes * Praise for Beyond the Score (2013) ""There is no doubting the stunning array of diverse sources, the remarkable interdisciplinary scope, and the lucidity of expression with which Nicholas Cook has long been associated, in what could be considered his magnum opus. * Giles Hooper, Music Analysis * Praise for Music, Imagination, and Culture (1990) ""It will be essential reading for everybody. * Raymond Monelle, Music Analysis ""A fascinating, learned, provocative book...It will start a debate amongst musical theorists which will continue over many years.Anthony Storr ""I want to urge anyone interested in musical aesthetics to read it. The book is written with passion, with intelligence, and with deep understanding of music.Peter Kivy, Journal of Aesthetics and Art Criticism *" Author InformationNicholas Cook is 1684 Professor Emeritus at the University of Cambridge.
