I would like to present to the reader a unique volume, one born from a passion for knowledge, an attempt at understanding music in its deepest essence, and the question of whether this art can transmit meaning. This passion has led researchers to semiotics, structuralism, and trends in the global humanities that have uncovered those elements that constitute a work, that allow for communication in a nonverbal language?what can be encoded and what can be decoded, what has changed over the centuries, and what has remained constant. This has given rise to three closely related trends that have been developing for over 50 years: musical semiotics, musical signification (meaning), and musical narratology?all inspired by linguistics and literary studies, all adapting tools from these disciplines, all proposing a new perspective on music that was impossible for the tools typical of musicology or music theory, and which have thus allowed for a completely different understanding of music [...].
