Music and Familiarity

Listening, Musicology and Performance

Herausgeber: King, Elaine; Prior, Helen M.

Beschreibung

Familiarity underpins our engagement with music. In Music and Familiarity, King and Prior bring together 13 essays that highlight theoretical and empirical considerations about familiarity from three perspectives: listening, musicology, and performance. This book explores the ways in which familiarity impacts our behaviour and responses to music; influences our appreciation and perceptions of music; and also shows how familiarity affects musicians' performance practices.
