Heinrich Besseler's Philosophy of Listening

This presentation will introduce, contextualise and discuss the thinking of 
musicologist and philosopher of music Heinrich Besseler (1900-1969) on the 
topic of musical listening. A student of the German philosopher Martin 
Heidegger, Besseler articulated his philosophical understanding of listening in 
two essays (Basic Questions of Musical Listening and The Musical Listening of 
Modernity). As Heidegger himself said surprisingly little about music 
Besseler's work gives us an opportunity to reflect indirectly on the fertility 
of Heidegger's thinking for an understanding of music and listening.
