Muzikoloski Zbornik

(464 p. No ISBN number) Entitled Rationalism of a magic tinge: music as a form of abstract perception, the second volume of Muzikoloski Zbornik was produced in order to celebrate the seventieth anniversary of the prolific Slovene musicologist Marija Bergamo, who has devoted much of her intellectual energies towards the study of the order of impulses and effects of music, whereby music reveals itself as an ordered, meaningfully captured, rationally presented manifestation of that which rightly escapes the grip of the name, and in its essence reaches into the irrational core of the human world (p. 8) Consisting of contributions by 25 authors, primarily from Slovenia, but also from Austria, the United Kingdom, Russia, Germany, France and the United States, the articles cover a wide range of topics, including studies relating to the history of music in Slovenia, Music in Plato's Republic, The Capricious Aspect of a Haydn Quartet:
