Understanding Otherness Through Music

Abstract

The present paper will focus on three, specific musical examples, in order to show: How the relationship between identity and otherness can be actually observed in a piece of music. Example 1) Stravinsky, Tango.How music can give voice to emotions that are others but not alien. Example 2) Debussy, Serenade for the Doll.How humour and playfulness in music can play down any rhetorical approach to the origin as “the true identity”. Example 3) Johann Strauss, Czardas from The Bat.
