Scope and content

Zuckerkandl explores the spatial and temporal experience of music. The text is comprised of four sections: pitch, movement, time, and space; section headers have been pencilled in. In the first section, Zuckerkandl explains that pitches “refer” to each other; they do not correspond to objects in the real world. Zuckerkandl then explores issues in concepts of pitch movement. In the section on time, Zuckerkandl asserts that musical rhythm is experienced in groupings of twos and threes and is felt as a “wave” or “pulse.” In the final section on space, Zuckerkandl explores issues regarding the “placelessness” of “audible space.”

    Notes area

    Note

    Version A was written first, then B. Hand-written edits by Zuckerkandl are incorporated from one version into the next. Date suggested by opening "Zeit und Raum der musikalischen Erfahrung [Version A]": Zuckerkandl writes to an unknown "Sie" (perhaps Knoll), providing them with a few pages should they decide to suggest Zuckerkandl for a presentation at the Eranos Conference, 1957. Zuckerkandl refers to this meeting as "next year's" conference.
