/Music and Levels of Narration in Film/ is the first book-length study 
of the narratology of film music and is an indispensable resource for 
anyone researching or studying film music or film narratology. It 
surveys the so far piecemeal discussion of narratological concepts in 
film music studies and tries to (cautiously) systematize, expand and 
refine them with reference to ideas from general narratology and film 
narratology (including contributions from German-language literature 
less widely known in Anglophone scholarship). The book goes beyond the 
current focus of film music studies on the distinction between diegetic 
and non-diegetic music (music understood to be or not to be part of the 
storyworld of a film) and takes into account different levels of 
narration: from the extrafictional to ‘focalizations’ of subjectivity 
and music’s many and complex movements between them. The conceptual 
toolkit proposed in the first part of the book is put to the text in a 
series of case studies: of numbers in film musicals; of music and sound 
in horror films; and of music and narrative structures in, among others, 
films by Sergio Leone, /The Truman Show/, /Breakfast at Tiffany’s/ and 
/Far from Heaven/.

Guido Heldt is a lecturer in music at the University of Bristol.

The electronic version of this book is freely available thanks to the 
support of libraries working with Knowledge Unlatched 
(knowledgeunlatched.org <http://knowledgeunlatched.org/>). KU is a 
collaborative initiative designed to make high quality books Open Access 
for the public good.

Intellect is pleased to be continuing to work with KU and we will soon 
be making another of our titles Open Access, David H. Fleming’s 
/Unbecoming Cinema: //Unsettling Encounters with Ethical Event Films 
/(2017).
