From the rear cover
"Thinking about music, and--more to the point--thinking through music over the past thirty years is well and appropriately anchored in the writing of Lawrence Kramer. Indeed, it's safe to say that musicology has very considerably rethought its project, and is much the better for it, on account of Kramer's consistently stunning work. The Thought of Music thinks hard about how and why musical thought needed to change, and still does. The book, intellectually magisterial, is beautifully written, supremely well argued, and anchored in what actually happens in musical works. By no means least, Kramer articulates the stakes--for musical understanding and music's myriad social and cultural agencies--that append to the thinking about music. I'd be hard put to recommend any book that accomplishes this increasingly urgent task more convincingly."--Richard Leppert, author of Aesthetic Technologies of Modernity, Subjectivity, and Nature
