Proust as Musician - Jean-Jacques Nattiez - Bog

Studying the texts devoted to the Sonata and Septet of Vinteui, Nattiez demonstrates the fundamental role played by music in the evolution of the novel. Music as model for literature: this is the subject of Professor Nattiez's essay, which unravels the various musical themes running through Proust's work, and which thus constitutes a particularly clear and perceptive introduction to his writing.
