Summary Annotation Sharpe writes engagingly about meaning and value in music. After reading this book, you won¿t be able to prove that Schubert is profound or that Britten is better than Tippett; but Sharpe shows that the failure of such proofs reflects the humanism and individuality for which we value the arts most highly.
