The Imaginary Museum of Musical Works: An Essay in the Philosophy of Music Book

What is the difference between a performance of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony and the symphony itself? What does it mean for musicians to be faithful to the works they perform?

She describes how the concept of a musical work emerged as late as 1800, and how it subsequently defined the norms, expectations, and behavior characteristic of classical musical practice.

She also addresses current debates amongst conductors, early-music performers, and avant-gardists.Read More
