Musical text as an act of communication
Abstract
The musical score establishes a (unidirectional) communicative relationship between composer and performer: thus, its output is in the same rank as speech acts have in oral language. A pragmatic perspective about the musical text should start by analyzing what kind of act is to elaborate a musical text, what their purposes are, and what conditions are necessary for this communication to be successful. As with language, the various purposes that may encourage the development of a musical text will reflect in its appearance as object; this variety of illocutionary purposes may explain some apparent dysfunctions that appear on the signic system by which music is expressed.Downloads
