| Summary: | This article approaches the transformation of music's meaning and social insertion between the end of the 18th century and the beginning of the 19th century. Bearing in mind that the meaning of everything we now call Art was “invented” during this period, its central thesis is that this “invention” in music, beyond technical issues, had a deep relationship with new ways of representing knowledge by post-Kantian idealism and early German romanticism. The epistemic transformations proposed by these movements implied understanding certain artistic practices beyond the mere technical domain, thus placing them at the center of a knowledge model that refuses to be reduced to the pure mechanical manipulation of matter. In this manner, it faces the problem of a truth beyond the pure instrumental application of our comprehension. This question will determine the social and epistemic meaning that music begins to have from that period onwards. In this context, the word music begins to mean something very different from what said word meant for a large part of the 18th century and previous ones and, as a practice, earns its place as a crucial form of access to a highly significant type of knowledge for Modernity. |
