A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

This volume is concerned with the philosophical presuppositions of musical interpretation. The nineteen previously unpublished essays address such interrelated questions as the nature of musical interpretation in relation to works or music, whether works of music are fully embodied in scores, how strictly all markings of a score should be respected, what pertinence historical research has for musical interpretation, and how decisive the known or reconstructed intentions of a composer should be. The contributors investigate the aesthetic, cultural, and historical aspects of musical interpretation, and their relation to interpretation in other human practices. In addition, they investigate such fundamental distinctions as those between musical and non-musical phenomena, and between musical and linguistic meaning.

Revue de presse :

'The detail of many of these arguments is treated with great clarity in this fascinating book. We are not famous as a nation for our interest in ideas ... but an understanding of these essays could influence not just what we think, but what we feel in the presence of music. Read and enjoy.' Anthony Pryor, BBC Music, March 1994

`The editor's own lucid and thoughtful piece homes in on the central question of whether or not it can be maintained that there is a single ideal interpretation for each musical work.' Sebastian Gardner, Times Literary Supplement

'This book could unsettle you. It takes us behind the simple "boo" or "hooray" reactions to interpretations and shows us exactly what we are responding to.' Anthony Pryor, BBC Music
