In that book, Peter Kivy argued that music possesses expressive properties, not as powers to arouse emotions in us but, rather, as perceived qualities of the music itself. <I>In Sound Sentiment</I>, he augments his previous work with four entirely new chapters. Incorporating the complete, corrected text of <I>The Corded Shell</I>, Kivy brings his earlier arguments up to date in light of recent work in the field, and discusses and answers various criticisms. <BR> <h2>Reviews</h2> <p>From reviews of <I>The Corded Shell</I>: <p><I>"Kivy�s is a lucid and eminently readable account, interesting both historically and conceptually, of musical expressiveness&#151flexible in that it gives scope to both the contour and the convention models, the account becoming more convincing as one reads, as the theory is applied to more and more specific passages of music, and as one after another bit of irrelevancy or pseudo-mysticism is progressively shucked off."</I> <br>&#151<b>John Hospers</b>, <I>Journal of Aesthetic Education</I> <p><I>"</I>The Corded Shell<I>, in its clarity, judiciousness, and breadth, will clearly take its place as a major work on musical expression. Those who seek to chart the murky waters of musical aesthetics are permanently in Kivy�s debt."</I> <br>&#151<b>Jerrold Levinson</b>, <I>Canadian Philosophical Review</I> <p><I>"Informed, lucid, and witty, Professor Kivy�s argument brings enlightened solace to the musical amateur and tempers the harsh stance of the musical purist. A splendid contribution to the aesthetics of music."</I> <br>&#151<b><I>Virginia Quarterly Review</I></b> <BR> <H2>About the Author(s)</H2> <P><b>Peter Kivy</b> is Professor of Philosophy at Rutgers University and Associate Editor of the <I>Journal of Aesthetics and Art Criticism</I>.
