While interpretation of musical scores is amongst the most frequent
of musical activities, it is also, strangely, one of the least
researched. This collection of essays seeks to remedy this deficit
by illuminating ways in which today's curious musician - interested
in probing beyond the dictates of a faintly understood score - can
engage more deeply and thoughtfully with the act of interpretation.
Skilful musical interpretation draws on a vast range of knowledges.

performance. Many of the chapters utilize case studies and, as
such, will be useful for university and conservatory level students

Music-Dance explores the identity of choreomusical work, its
complex authorship and its modes of reception as well as the
cognitive processes involved in the reception of dance performance.
Scholars of dance and music analyse the ways in which a musical
score changes its prescriptive status when it becomes part of a
choreographic project, the encounter between sound and motion on
stage, and the intersection of listening and seeing. As well as
being of interest to musicologists and choreologists considering
issues such as notation, multimedia and the analysis of
performance, this volume will appeal to scholars interested in
applied research in the fields of cognition and neuroscience. The
line-up of authors comprises representative figures of today's
choreomusicology, dance historians, scholars of twentieth-century
composition and specialists in cognitive science and performance
studies. Among the topics covered are multimedia and the analysis
of performance; the notational practice of choreographers and the
parallel attempts of composers to find a graphic representation for
musical gestures; and the experience of dance as a paradigm for a
multimodal perception, which is investigated in terms of how the
association of sound and movement triggers emotions and specific
forms of cognition.

Every orchestra in the world oscillates between crisis and
survival. This perpetual movement makes innovation, both in
organizational form and in artistic product, vital to the
sustainability of the symphony orchestra. Based on case study
research in Flanders, Amsterdam and London, this book reflects on
the sustainability crisis of the orchestra by framing it as a
legitimacy crisis that affects both the orchestra's artistic and
organizational identity. The aim of this book is to explore the
dynamics between various and often conflicting factors in the
orchestra's quest for survival, and to show how these
organizational dynamics relate to the orchestra's repertoire. By
highlighting the importance of every organization's specific
environment to which it needs to adapt, this book illustrates that
the orchestra field is not a field that relies on best practices.
The book reflects on conventional as well as innovative orchestra
models, making the comparative point of view relevant for academic
or practice-based researchers, orchestra managers, policymakers and
subsidizing bodies interested in sustainable and future-oriented
orchestra management.

By the early 20th century the machine aesthetic was a
well-established and dominant interest that fundamentally
transformed musical performance and listening practices. While
numerous scholars have examined this aesthetic in art and
literature, musical compositions representing industrialized labor
practices and the role of the machine in music remain largely
unexplored. Moreover, in recounting the history of machines in
musical recording and reproduction, scholars often tend to
emphasize the phonograph, rather than player piano, despite the
latter's prominence within the newly established musical
marketplace. Machines and their music influenced multiple areas of
early 20th-century musical culture, from film scores to popular
music and even the concert hall. But the opposite was also true:
industrialized labor practices changed the musical marketplace and
musical culture as a whole. As consumers accepted mechanical
replacements for what previously required an active human laborer,
ghostly, mechanical performers labored tirelessly in parlors,
businesses, and even concert halls. Although the player piano
failed to maintain a stronghold in the recorded music marketplace
after 1930, the widespread acceptance of recording technologies as
media for storing and enjoying music indicates a much more
fundamental societal shift. This book explores that shift,
examining the rise and fall of the player piano in early
20th-century society and connecting it to the digital technologies
of today.
