{"product_id":"9780521168335","title":"Paul Valéry and Music : A Study of the Techniques of Composition in Valéry's Poetry","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis 1984 book was the first to investigate the full implications of Paul Valéry's interest in the relationship between music and poetry. The book is more of a survey of all that Valéry had to say on music; it examines in detail the influence of such music upon his work as a poet. The structure of the book comprises three distinct phases of argument. In the first part Dr Stimpson details Valéry's contacts with the major developments in twentieth-century French music, and reveals particularly close relationshops with a number of outstanding composers and performers. Part II explores Valéry's theoretical consideration of the links between music and poetry. The third section studies the musical techniques in Valéry's poetry - melody, harmonics, rhythm, musique verbale, and recitative. This will be an important book for serious students of Valéry's poetry and all those interested in the relationship between poetry and music.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48684718489835,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":113.53,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/4484\/5803\/files\/9780521168335-1.jpg?v=1781625916","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/ja\/products\/9780521168335","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
