Musical practice as an activity (but also letting things happen) becomes a reality itself - pointing out to realities and possibilities in everyday life.
How is musical practice connected with everyday life? Eva-Maria Houben shows that performing music as an activity - indeed, as playing - is a meaningful shift from an approach based on structural analysis. Musical practice, Eva-Maria Houben contends, can be understood as open and never finished. Such an emphasis on repetition offers freedom from perfection, productivity, and purpose, thus allowing meaning to unfold in specific situations, places, and relationships. Musical practice can become a form of life and a reality in its own right. The study includes musical examples from the 17th, 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries as well as contemporary music.
Eva-Maria Houben (Prof. Dr. phil.), geb. 1955, lehrt Musikwissenschaft mit dem Schwerpunkt Musiktheorie an der TU Dortmund. Sie ist auch als Komponistin, Organistin und Pianistin tätig.
