Abstract

Frequent references to musical terms in Barthes's writings since 1970 suggest a progression beyond a standard semiological inquiry. A text on the «grain» of the voice, another on música practica, and a third on Romantic song develop a model of figuration Barthes explores actively in the Fragments d'un discours amoureux (A Lover's Discourse) and La Chambre claire.

Keywords: music, musical terms, Barthes, voice, grain of the voice, grain, música practica, Romantic song, Fragments d'un discours amoureux, A Lover's Discourse, La Chambre claire
