Musical notation is a powerful system of communication between
musicians, using sophisticated symbolic, primarily non-verbal means
to express musical events in visual symbols. Many musicians take
the system for granted, having internalized it and their strategies
for reading it and translating it into sound over long years of
study and practice. This book traces the development of that system
by combining chronological and thematic approaches to show the
historical and musical context in which these developments took
place. Simultaneously, the book considers the way in which this
symbolic language communicates to those literate in it, discussing
how its features facilitate or hinder fluent comprehension in the
real-time environment of performance. Moreover, the topic of
musical as opposed to notational innovation forms another thread of
the treatment, as the author investigates instances where musical
developments stimulated notational attributes, or notational
innovations made practicable advances in musical style.
