The Unanswered Question - Six Talks at Harvard by Leonard Bernstein

Season 1 Episode 3: Musical Semantics

Semantics is the study of meaning in language, and Bernstein's third lecture, "musical semantics", accordingly, is Bernstein's first attempt to explain meaning in music. Although Bernstein defines musical semantics as "meaning, both musical and extramusical" (p. 9) this lecture focuses exclusively on the "musical" version of meaning.
