Description

Listening is never merely a means to an end. It always produces its own modes of perception and sensation, which give it the status of an independent and genuinely aesthetic event. Against this background, the seminar relates philosophical theories of listening to examples from the musical tradition in order to collaboratively evaluate the relationship between music aesthetics and aural training: How would a current theory of listening be written that is connectable to musical practice? What challenges would such a practice pose for the methodology of artistic music research?
