This book examines the relationship between narrative film and
reality, as seen through the lens of on-screen classical concert
performance. By investigating these scenes, wherein the performance
of music is foregrounded in the narrative, Winters uncovers how
concert performance reflexively articulates music's importance to
the ontology of film. The book asserts that narrative film of a
variety of aesthetic approaches and traditions is no mere copy of
everyday reality, but constitutes its own filmic reality, and that
the music heard in a film's underscore plays an important role in
distinguishing film reality from the everyday. As a result, concert
scenes are examined as sites for provocative interactions between
these two realities, in which real-world musicians appear in
fictional narratives, and an audience's suspension of disbelief is
problematised. In blurring the musical experiences of onscreen
observers and participants, these concert scenes also allegorize
music's role in creating a shared subjectivity between film
audience and character, and prompt Winters to propose a radically
new vision of music's role in narrative cinema wherein musical
underscore becomes part of a shared audio-visual space that may be
just as accessible to the characters as the music they encounter in
scenes of concert performance.
