- Title
Every Performance Is a Stage: Musical Stage Theory as a Novel Account for the Ontology of Musical Works.
- Authors
MORUZZI, CATERINA
- Abstract
ABSTRACT: This article defends Musical Stage Theory as a novel account of the ontology of musical works. Its main claim is that a musical work is a performance. The significance of this argument is twofold. First, it demonstrates the availability of an alternative, and ontologically tenable, view to well‐established positions in the current debate on musical metaphysics. Second, it shows how the revisionary approach of Musical Stage Theory actually provides a better account of the ontological status of musical works.
