Philosophical considerations on performance,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Authenticities: Philosophical Reflections on Musical Performance (Paperback)
This is one of a series of excellent books on problems in the philosophy of music by Peter Kivy, professor at Rutgers University. This is the third I have read and I have found them all stimulating and thought-provoking. This one, in the area of performance, deals with matters that are a good deal less well-defined than the problems dealt with in the other books such as The Fine Art of Repetition, but still well worth the time. In particular Kivy does an excellent job of problematizing the notion of 'authenticity' in early music. I have often thought that even after you have done everything possible to ensure that your performance is as close to an historical one as possible, you are still presented with the problem that your audience does not have 17th (or 16th or whatever) century ears and minds. Kivy goes into this sort of problem in depth.
