Who ""speaks"" to us in <i>The Sorcerer's Apprentice,</i> in Wagner's operas, in a Mahler symphony? In asking this question, Carolyn Abbate opens nineteenth-century operas and instrumental works to new interpretations as she explores the voices projected by music. The nineteenth-century metaphor of music that ""sings"" is thus reanimated in a new context, and Abbate proposes interpretive strategies that ""de-center"" music criticism, that seek the polyphony and dialogism of music, and that celebrate musical gestures often marginalized by conventional music analysis
