This selection of sixteen of Nicholas Cook's essays covers the
period from 1987 to 2004 and brings out the development of the
author's ideas over these years. In particular the two keywords of
the title - Meaning and Performance - represent critical directions
that expand to the point that, by the end of the book, they become
coextensive: music is seen as social action and meaning as created
by that action. Within this overall direction, a wide variety of
topics is explored, ranging from Beethoven to Schenker, from
Chinese qin music to jazz and rock, from perceptual psychology to
sketch studies and analysis of record sleeves. A substantial
introduction draws out the links (and differences) between the
essays, sometimes critiquing them and always setting them into the
developing context of the author's work as a whole.
