  Publication in the collection "Arts and Arts Sciences" 

The unity of the musical work: the search for an aesthetics compared 
with the physical sciences
by Xavier Hautbois
Editions L’Harmatthan,
Collection "Arts et Sciences de l'Art" directed by Costin Miereanu.

Abstract:

How to characterise the unity of a musical piece? Can one connect the 
concept of musical unity to the search of unity carried out in the 
physical sciences? The author tries to answer these questions, which 
concern both aesthetics and history of sciences, and bases his thought 
on aesthetic models common to sciences and arts. He explores the 
musical unity, that is coveted by many composers whereas it is 
neglected by musical theorists, and poses the bases of a new 
discipline: the "compared aesthetics extended to sciences". Considering 
the foundation of the Greek harmonic system, the role of symmetry as an 
aesthetic guideline and the fascinating attraction of the organic 
model, this book invites the reader to reflect about the aesthetic 
relationship between sciences and arts.

The author:

Xavier Hautbois studied sciences and musicology: he is both an engineer 
and a doctor of the School for Advanced Studies in the Social Sciences, 
also known as EHESS. Member of the Aesthetics of Contemporary Arts 
Institute (IDEAC - CNRS/Universtité Paris 1 Pantheon-Sorbonne), his 
research focuses on the applications of sciences in the arts. He 
teaches aesthetics and multimedia computer languages at the University 
of Versailles-Saint-Quentin (France).

L’unité de l’œuvre musicale : recherche d’une esthétique comparée
avec les sciences physiques
  de Xavier Hautbois
  Editions L’Harmatthan, Collection « Arts et Sciences de l’Art » 
dirigée par Costin Miereanu.
www.editions-harmattan.fr/index.asp?navig=catalogue&obj=livre&no=22352

Sujet du livre :

  Comment caractériser l'unité d'une oeuvre musicale ? Peut-on relier la 
notion d'unité musicale à la recherche d'unité pratiquée dans les 
sciences physiques ? À ces questions, situées au carrefour de 
l'esthétique et de l'histoire des sciences, l'auteur tente de répondre 
en s'appuyant sur des modèles esthétiques communs aux sciences et aux 
arts. En posant les bases d'une discipline nouvelle « l'esthétique 
comparée étendue aux sciences » l'auteur explore cette unité musicale, 
à la fois convoitée par de nombreux compositeurs et délaissée 
majoritairement par les théoriciens de la musique.

  De l'étude du système harmonique grec au rôle de la symétrie en tant 
que guide esthétique, en passant par l'attrait fascinant du modèle 
organique, ce livre invite le lecteur à s'interroger sur les relations 
d'ordre esthétique entre les sciences et les arts.

L’auteur :

  Xavier Hautbois a une formation scientifique (ingénieur) et 
musicologique (docteur de l'École des hautes études en sciences 
sociales), son activité de recherche porte sur des études artistiques 
menées de façon transdisciplinaire, alliant le domaine scientifique et 
le domaine musical, à l'Institut d'esthétique des arts contemporains 
(IDEAC - FRE 8175 - CNRS/Universtité Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne). Maître 
de conférences à l'Université de Versailles - Saint-Quentin, il 
enseigne l'esthétique et l'informatique multimédia.
