| Abstract | What takes place when a composer creates a piece of music? To what extent is a performer part of the creative process? Although the dominant paradigm for music making in our era has been that of creation and reproduction--in which composers are the true creators and performers primarily carry out their wishes--does that way of thinking reflect actual musical practice? Succinct and lucid, not only will this important book be a provocative read for philosophers of art and musicologists, it should also appeal to general readers, especially those who compose and perform music. |
