Musical Performance - A Philosophical Study (Paperback, New)

Unlike other books on the philosophy of music, Stan Godlovitch considers music from the vantage point of active music-making. Rather than looking at the composition or the perception of music, Musical Performance considers playing traditions which have developed physical mastery to serve expressive ends. These traditions have been challenged by electronic technology which has made live, human performance seem a mere transfer medium. After developing a full model of traditional performance, Stan Godlovitch asks how well performance proper has stood up, and where (if anywhere) its unique value lies.
This radical new evaluation of music making in the past and future will be essential reading for students of aesthetics, the philosophy of music, as well as musicologists and performance specialists.
