Description

Musical Performance: A Philosophical Study explores how the dominance of recorded music has transformed our understanding of live performance and music-making. Stan Godlovitch examines the philosophical implications of the separation between how music is created and how audiences experience it, moving beyond traditional discussions of composition and perception. The work investigates how technology has challenged the active tradition of music playing and performing, and what these shifts mean for contemporary musical practice and philosophy. This Routledge publication provides a rigorous intellectual framework for understanding the role of live performance in an age where recorded sound has become the primary way most people encounter music, offering fresh perspectives on authenticity, presence, and value in musical experience.

Key Features

Stan Godlovitch provides a philosophical examination of live musical performance rather than focusing on composition or music perception alone.

Musical Performance: A Philosophical Study addresses how recorded sound technology has fundamentally changed the context and meaning of music-making.

The book explores the philosophical problems created by the separation between music creation and music listening in modern culture.

Routledge publishes this work as a serious intellectual contribution to music philosophy and performance studies.

The study challenges readers to reconsider what live performance means when recording technology dominates how music is encountered and valued.

Godlovitch's approach examines the tradition of active music playing and how contemporary technology poses new philosophical questions for performers and listeners.
