The music code in P. Quignard’s novel «All the World's Mornings»

Abstract

The article is devoted to the analysis of author’s text musical strategy in P. Quignard’s novel «All the World's Mornings». We examine the intermediate relations (the music code) of the novel on different text levels such as personage, action-composition, problem-subject, myth-poetical and rhythmical levels. The text’s musicality is P. Quignard’s strategy postulated in his music theory of «loss». The novel’s music code is discovered in the «musical toolset».
