Humor in Song
註釋This study delves into the compositional strategies composers as humorists ante Monteverdi to post Verdi have utilized to express humor in texted music. Song, as illustrated in this dissertation, is used in the generic sense of the term and thus embraces dramatic music as well. The author identifies with the view expounded by Bennet Reimer known as Absolute Expressionism. L.B. Meyer, Donald Ferguson, Deryck Cooke and Wilson Coker, among others, share to a large measure the conviction that music can be referential, a view already crystallized by Johann Matheson in his treatise Der vollkommene Capellmeister (1739).
