Opis

Not long ago, ideas of creativity in music revolved around composers in garrets and the idea of genius. In the last decade there has been a sea change in thinking: musical creativity is seen in terms of collaboration and real-time performance. Music as Creative Practice is a first attempt to synthesise both perspectives.

Recenzje

This is a most valuable volume ... it tackles some fundamental issues that are largely becoming ignored in our current populist political and social environment ... As in all his writing, Nicholas Cook goes a very long way in this book to clarify these issues, along with many other intriguing musicological concepts, and to stimulate debate in a most lucid and informative manner.
