Synopsis

This book draws together pioneering contributions to the study of the processes by which music is generated. In doing so, it redresses a balance in the contemporary literature on the psychology of music which has, to date, concentrated mainly on receptive processes. The 11 chapters, specially commissioned for this volume, cover the generation of expression in musical performance, the problems of synchrony in ensemble performance, the development of children's song, rehearsal strategies of pianists, improvizational skill in trained and untrained musicians, children's spontaneous notations for music, formal constraints on compositional systems, and compositional strategies of music students. The focus throughout is on empirical observation and the development of cognitive theory. The book will be of interest to cognitive and developmental psychologists, as well as to music educators and musicologists, and musicians in general.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Where most of the literature in the psychology of music has focused on the processes involved when listening to music, little has been written about the processes involved in making music. Reissued by popular demand, and for the first time in paperback, Generative Processes: The Psychology of Performance, Improvisation, and Composition brings together leading figures in music psychology to present pioneering studies of the processes by which music is generated. The book looks at the generation of expression in musical performance, the problems of synchrony in ensemble performance, the development of children's song, rehearsal strategies of pianists, improvisational skill in trained and untrained musicians, children's spontaneous notations for music, formal constraints on compositional systems, and compositional strategies of music students. Edited by the leading authority on music psychology, the book will be of great interest to cognitive and developmental psychologists, as well as music educators and musicologists
