The study of musical composition has been marked by a didactic,
technique-based approach, focusing on the understanding of musical
language and grammar -harmony, counterpoint, orchestration and
arrangement - or on generic and stylistic categories. In the field
of the psychology of music, the study of musical composition, even
in the twenty-first century, remains a poor cousin to the
literature which relates to musical perception, music performance,
musical preferences, musical memory and so on. Our understanding of
the compositional process has, in the main, been informed by
anecdotal after-the-event accounts or post hoc analyses of
composition. The Act of Musical Composition: Studies in the
Creative Process presents the first coherent exploration around
this unique aspect of human creative activity. The central threads,
or key themes - compositional process, creative thinking and
problem-solving - are integrated by the combination of theoretical
understandings of creativity with innovative empirical work.
