The central theme of this book is the relationship between the
reflections about and the realization of a musical composition. In
his essay "Words about Music, or Analysis versus Performance,"
Nicholas Cook states that words and music can never be aligned
exactly with one another. He embarks on a quest for models of the
relationship between analytical conception and performance that are
more challenging than those in general currency. Peter Johnson's
essay, "Performance and the Listening Experience: Bach's 'Erbarme
dich'" shows that a performance is an element within the
intentionality of the work itself. He looks for scientific methods
capable of proving the artisticity of a performance. And the
composer Hans Zender, in his "A Road Map for Orpheus?," states that
a composer must be capable of questioning obvious basic principles
(such as equal temperament) and finding creative solutions.
