Rezensionen

"An ambitious range of ideas flows through six chapters, moving outwards from the micro to the macro: from a person-instrument system, informational resources in musical activity, small ensemble, to the orchestra as a cognitive system where Kaastra lays the landscape for future research. [...] The strength of Kaastra's book relies on her effective analyses of selected case studies, grounded in an array of theories and methodologies based on a combination of methodological measures. [The] book will be of particular interest to early researchers in the fields of cognitive psychology, music psychology, and performance science. Additionally, it offers insights into the learning and understanding of music, with applications for music education. An original investigation, this book comes recommended."
