Doing justice to musical works
chapter
posted on 2023-06-08, 05:12 authored by Michael MorrisThis paper argues against the view in the ontology of musical works that the relation between musical works and performances of them is the relation between a type and its tokens. I claim that this cannot do justice to the fact that musical works are essentially meaningful, in the sense of essentially being there to be understood. The type-token view risks treating musical works as found objects, and it cannot accommodate the fact that the relation between musical works and performances must be intentional if musical works are essentially meaningful.
