The following three topics can be combined in a two-day seminar for advanced students of music performance. After introducing the historical origins of current concepts in music and performance, the practices of classical music and "historically informed" performance are located in this context. These practices are then set in the more recently defined framework of music as a dynamic social process.Then, in an introduction to early recordings, students apply the insights they have gained from the practice of recontextualization to an experiment in listening practice. The seminar's goal is to help students expand their listening habits and gain awareness and control of their musical selves.

Music As Culture
