Along with twentieth-century developments in playing techniques,
technologies, and concepts of musical sound, the notations employed
by composers have also changed. Composers of what Umberto Eco calls
'open works' often employ intentionally ambiguous music notations.
These open notations ask the performer to play a radical and active
role in co-creating the musical work. Scores that feature open
notations have been part of the Western classical music landscape
since the mid-twentieth century, and continue to have a vibrant
community of practitioners today. In this Element, Tristan McKay
considers intersections of ambiguity, authority, and identity in
works with open notations. He develops a semiotic approach to open
notation analysis and puts it into practice with in-depth analyses
of openly notated works by Earle Brown, Will Redman, and Leah
Asher.
