It examines the function of this discipline as the mediator between philosophy and musicology, it inquires into its connections with the ideals of autonomy, beauty and free subjectivity. During the 20th Century, major changes in society and their communication forms happened; anthropology and semiotics began to compete with aesthetics in explaining musical facts.

Adorno's work is set in the context both of its aesthetic antecedents, particularly in the work of Schoenberg as composer and as music theorist, and of its subsequent critics. At the centre of the article is a discussion of the analysis seminars which Adorno gave during the Darmstadt Ferienkurse in the mid-1950s, on Schoenberg's Verklärte Nacht and Phantasy for violin and piano and Webern's Six Bagatelles for string quartet, op. 9.
