The Imaginary Museum of Musical Works: An Essay in the Philosophy of Music
Goehr, Lydia (Professor of Philosophy and Aesthetics, Professor of Philosophy and Aesthetics, Columbia University)
In this book, Lydia Goehr describes how the concept of a musical work fully crystallized around 1800, and subsequently defined the norms, expectations, and behavioral patterns that have come to characterize classical musical practice. The description is set in the context of a more general philosophical account of the rise and fall of concepts and ideals, and of their normative functions; at the same time, debates amongst conductors, early-music performers, andavant-gardists are addressed.
