A COURSE OF LECTURES "MUSICAL HERMENEUTICS: DO WE KNOW HOW TO LISTEN TO MUSIC?"

Is Classical Music "Modern Art"?
Alexei Trifonov
In the twentieth century academic music was divided into two kinds of art (composing and performing). Each individual performer consciously or unconsciously brings their own interpretation to a score created by a composer. The art of performing is becoming a part of modern culture, even if a work performed was composed centuries ago.
