philosophy of music and aesthetics, musical work ontology, critical editing, music philology, musical textual criticism, notation, music as performance, empirical musicology, notational transcriptions, authorship and authority
Using pianist and composer Nicolas Economou’s un-notated piano works as case studies, I aim to examine the process of transcribing and transforming, through appropriate editing, notational transcriptions into scores – “prescriptive” (and not “descriptive”) texts to which one can ascribe authority, and which can be used for further, “authentic” performances. In order to achieve that, discussion on critical editing/textual criticism practices, and musical work ontology as established in Western art music traditions is necessary, as well as discussion on notions such as authorship and authority.
