Summary
Bojana Cvejić: Beyond the musical work
Performative practice of Erik Sati, John Cage, Fluxus, La Monta Young, John Zorn
What is needed to establish music as a performing art, such as theater, performance art, modern dance and opera? Why is there still an approach to music as the art of a piece of music in Western culture? Isn't the regime of the musical work today called into question by the practice of new media, reproduction technology and mass consumer enjoyment? The book "Beyond the musical work: Performative practice" is a discussion about the musical work as a performative performed on musical practices that experimentally carried out a turn from the musical work to performance.
