Music as a narrative drama is an intriguing idea, which has
captured explicit music theoretical attention since the nineteenth
century. Investigations into narrative characters or personae has
evolved into a sub-field-musical agency. In this book, Palfy
contends that music has the potential to engage us in social
processes and that those processes can be experienced as a social
interaction with a musical agent. She explores the overlap between
the psychological processes in which we participate in order to
understand and engage with people, and those we engage in when we
listen to music. Thinking of musical agency as a form of social
process is quite different from existing theoretical frameworks for
agency. It implies that we come to musical analysis by way of
intuition-that our ideas are already partially formed based on our
experience of the piece (and what it makes us feel or how it makes
us sense it as any other) when we choose to analyze and interpret
it. Palfy's focus on social processes is a very effective way to
pinpoint when and why it is that our attention is captured and
engaged by musical agents.
