Abstract
As a classic example of
musica poetica, Christoph
Bernhard’s Tractatus compositionis
augmentatus exhibits
a rhetorical mode of thought.
But while rhetoric informs an
aesthetic in which music is
bound to specific purposes, it
also gives the foundation for
theoretical, aesthetic, and
social principles of musical
autonomy. Autonomy and
functionality are not mutually
exclusive. This article tracks
the emergence of concepts
and practices of autonomy in
the late seventeenth century,
and, secondly, redefines
aesthetic autonomy as linked
to a particular type of function—
the use of music to
strive toward »the good life,«
as Aristotle termed the goal of
human existence.
