Composition, Performance and the Listening Experience is the second publication in the series Collected Writings of the Orpheus-Institute. The series comprises articles concerning the activities of the Orpheus Institute. The centrale theme of this book is the relationship between the reflections about and the relization of a musical composition. In his paper Words about Music, or Analysis versus Performance, Nicholas Cook states that words and music can never be aligned exactly with one another. He embarks on a quest for models of the relationship between analytical conception and performance that are more challenging than those in general currency. Peter Johnson's article Performance and the Listening Experience: Bach's 'Erbarme dich' shows that a performance is an element within the intentionality of the work itself. He looks for scientific methods capable of proving the artisticity of a performance. The composer Hans Zender, in his A Road Map for Orpheus?, states that a composer must be capable of questioning obvious basic principles (such as equal temperament) and finding creative solutions.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52144664314129,"sku":"NLS9789061869948","price":30.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9789061869948.jpg?v=1757589985","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/theory-into-practice-book-nicholas-cook-9789061869948","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
