[3] :ix In this text Aristotle offers an account of ποιητική, which refers to poetry and more literally "the poetic art," deriving from the term for "poet; author; maker," ποιητής.a b c Kennedy, George Alexander; Norton, Glyn P.

It is thus that I satisfy my verymarked taste for such a kind of musical topography.The superannuated system of classic tonality, whichcreative process correspond the fundamental conceptsof variety and unity.AH the arts have recourse to this principle. The Stravinsky’s belief and his thesis is that ‘the more art is controlled, limited, worked over, the more it is free.’ It is impossible not to see the relevance of that simple and short statement no matter what music you are listening to and this is how I fell into a time-warp as far as my own continuing education goes more than fifty years after it first started. Like everything Stravinsky did, the lectures (this book) are revolutionary. His opinions about Wagner, Verdi, Berlioz, Hindemith, Weber, Beethoven, Glinka, Tchaikovsky, Mussorgsky and Bach are refreshing to say the least. I had read and was taught extensively about the music of those composers; I had studied their work even more extensively and even though I was required to and did know their music intimately (or so I thought) I was to learn everything anew after I first read Poetics of Music. And today, when I write critiques of music it all comes into play.
