Summary:

"Investigating Musical Performance in the Twentieth Century is a study of diverse perspectives on musical performance as a cross-disciplinary field, a field that encourages a revision of theoretical and analytical paradigms. Seventeen chapters mirror the multifarious perspectives on musical performance as a global phenomenon, including research projects in Europe and in the United States. Section One is mainly devoted to developing or assessing theoretical models and research methods, while Section Two deals with more specific dimensions of musical performance. The global and complex nature of musical performance emerges from the sequence of chapters that suggest moments of contiguity, dialogue and connection between themes, analytical objects, problems and theoretical and methodological positions. The volume thus perfectly mirrors the wealth of stimuli offered by research and the musical culture of our times. Including a wide-ranging bibliography and analytical index, this will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of Ethnomusicology, Musicology and Music Performance Studies"-- Provided by publisher.
