This volume looks at the symbiotic relationship between the
philosophical inquiry into the presuppositions of musical
interpretation and the interpretation of particular musical works
by musicians. Characteristically, interpreters of music entertain
philosophical views about musical interpretation. For example, an
interpreter's decision whether to play one or another version of a
piece, whether to use one instrument or another, whether to
emphasize certain elements, depends in part upon certain
convictions of a philosophical nature. An interpreter's resolution
of such questions will involve views about what a musical work
is--for example, whether it is fully embodied in a score, how
strictly all markings should be respected, what pertinence
historical research has for interpretations, and how decisive the
known or reconstructed intentions of a composer may be. These
nineteen previously unpublished essays address a cluster of
interrelated questions about the definition, grounds, and nature of
musical interpretation. The contributors investigate the aesthetic,
cultural, and historical aspects of interpretation as well as
fundamental distinctions such as those between a work and its
interpretation, musical and non-musical phenomena, and musical
meaning and linguistic meaning.
