Description
This work applies tenets of Group Mental System theory to the Madama Butterfly: “The main tenet of this theory is that the sole linguistic object of music, language of the emotions, is Self. Musical language qualifies Self by qualifying its affect (emotions, moods, dispositions). …[I]t is of particular interest to consider those musical works in which alterations to the Self play a direct role. One such work is Puccini’s Madama Butterfly.” -Jonathan Christian Petty Other Music-Specific Composer(s) Books 2001 – Johann Sebastian Bachs Die Kunst Der Fuge, BWV 1080 for Organ or Keyboard with Commentary 2024 – Francis Poulenc’s Dialogues of the Carmelites: The Documented History of a Twentieth-Century Opera 2023 – Giovanni Paisiello: A Thematic Catalogue of his Works (2 vols.)
