Book excerpt: "Although absolute music emerged with a matrix of values - the integrity of the subject, the aesthetic autonomy of art, and the intrinsic worth of high culture - that are highly contested in musicology today, Hoeckner argues that we should not completely discard the ideal of a music that continues to offer moments of transcendence and liberation."--BOOK JACKET.
