| Summary |
The overriding aim of this volume — whether the subject is vocal ornamentation in 19th-century opera or the collective improvisation of the Grateful Dead — is to give recognition to performance as the core of musical culture. This collection brings together renowned scholars from performance studies and musicology with the intent of sparking a productive new dialogue on music as performance. The book provides an inventory of contrasted approaches to the study of performance and contributes to its developing centrality within music studies |
