Eva-Maria Houben shows that performing music as an activity--indeed, as playing--is a meaningful shift from an approach based on structural analysis. Musical practice, Eva-Maria Houben contends, can be understood as open and never finished. Such an emphasis on repetition offers freedom from perfection, productivity, and purpose, thus allowing meaning to unfold in specific situations, places, and relationships. Musical practice can become a form of life and a reality in its own right. The study includes musical examples from the 17th, 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries as well as contemporary music.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Eva-Maria Houben\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3837645738\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783837645736\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Transcript Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/04\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.80h x 5.70w x 0.70d","brand":"Eva-Maria Houben","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43941641650431,"sku":"9783837645736","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_44d3abd9-e299-42b8-92d0-8d09837e0a8e.jpg?v=1681454110","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/musical-practice-as-a-form-eva-maria-houben-9783837645736","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
