| dc.description.abstract | The concept of “climax” has been often used in modern literary analysis to define the highest point of a literary piece, be it a speech, a poem, a tragedy, or a novel . Also in the field of musical studies the term is broadly used to describe the way a composer reaches a particularly expressive moment in his piece, and the technical tools he has at his disposal to achieve it . However, only few scholars mention the concept’s past as a rhetorical device in which the last word of a phrase or clause is repeated at the beginning of the next . But what is the relation between this rhetorical device and its etymological sense in Greek (klimax = “stair”)? How did that technical word gain the much broader sense of crescendo? Why did “climax” begin to be applied to name the last step of a given dynamical movement? In this paper we discuss the complex etymological evolution of the word, since antiquity till modern times, and attempt to theorize this often vaguely applied concept. | eng |
