520 |a "Drawn largely from keynote addresses presented at conferences all over the world, and informed by the experience of writing the Oxford History of Western Music, this book considers the perennial, insoluble yet unevadable problems that musical scholarship must address, among them: musical ontology, musical representation, the determination of musical meaning, the objectives of musical historiography, the ethics of musical performance and criticism, musical periodization, the question of aesthetic autonomy, the social impact of art and the need to control it, the proper source of that control, the relationship of art (and art scholarship) to its temporal and geographical environments, the desirability of historical performance practices, the value and purpose of musical analysis, the origin and value of musical traditions, the purposes and effects of the social dissemination of music.

Meaning and value are at all times seen in relational terms, as aspects of social transaction"--  |c Provided by publisher.
