Description

Explore the changing landscape of music through the lens of philosophy in Musical Performance: A Philosophical Study by Stan Godlovitch. In an era where most music is consumed via recordings, the distance between the sound we hear and the music actually made has become a standard part of our daily lives. This Routledge publication examines the deep implications of this separation. While many philosophical accounts focus on how music is composed or perceived, this study shifts the focus to the act of making music. It looks at how the tradition of active playing and live performance faces new challenges due to modern technology. This book provides a necessary look at the problems these technological shifts pose for the philosophy of music, making it an essential read for those interested in the relationship between technology and live musical expression.
