Abstract

"The Art of Music" is a richly interdisciplinary celebration of the mutual influence between music and the visual arts across cultures and eras. This book sheds new light on more familiar artists at the intersection of the visual and the musical, such as Vasily Kandinsky and Arnold Schoenberg, and presents new shcolarship on less well-known examples in the arts of Asia, Africa, the Americas and Europe, from antique pottery to contemporary video and sound art. Essays by Simon Shaw-Miller (author of "Eye hEar The Visual in Music"), Richard Leppert (author of "The Sight of Sound"), and other scholars consider key works and themes such as synesthesia and other formal and theoretical crossovers, motifs of musicians, and performative and ritual functions of music, musical instruments and art. With over 250 color images illustrating works of art in diverse traditions, "The Art of Music" offers enriching reading for scholars and general audiences alike.

Abstract

The modern sense of "Greater Khorasan" today corresponds to a territory which not only comprises the region in the east of Iran but also, beyond Iranian frontiers, a part of Afghanistan and Turkmenistan. In the past this entity was simply defined as Khorasan. In the Sassanid era Khorasan defined the "Eastern lands". In the Islamic era this term was again taken up in the same sense it previously enjoyed. The Arab sources of the first centuries all mention the eastern regions under the same toponym, Khorasan. Khorasan was the gateway used by Alexander the Great to go into Bactria and India and, inversely, that through which the Seljuks and Mongols entered Iran. In a diachronic context Khorasan was a transit zone, a passage, a crossroads, which, above all in the medieval period, saw the creation of different commercial routes leading to the north, towards India, to the west and into China. In this framework, archaeological researches will be the guiding principle which will help us to take stock of a material culture which, as its history, is very diversified. They also offer valuable elements on commercial links between the principal towns of Khorasan. This book will provide the opportunity to better know the most recent elements of the principal constitutive sites of this geographical and political entity.
