Résumé
--
From Bach to Boulez : three centuries of music, three centuries of creation, repetitions, disappearances, the long succession leading to the present, to all present works. Music for piano by John Cage, Sonatas by Mozart, Symphonie fantastique by Berlioz, Concerts royaux by Couperin, Saint François d'Assise by Messiaen... How can we talk about these works? What makes the value of a musical creation? There are two ways to answer that question, or we might say two paradigms of the artwork. The musicological paradigm: the work is the score, or the musical text, fixed on a support (paper, tape, etc.). The sociological paradigm: a work of art is what the players, critics, public, agents and institutions describe as being so. What counts above all is the "aesthetic intention". The author discusses both of these concepts, defining the strong and weak points of their schematic logic and their role in the plan to limit the work of art (to one of its supports, one of its manifestations or to such and such an explanation). "Art within limits!" These words might be written on the belly bands around so many books on the subject. To the intellectual disappointed by closed avenues of thought, to music-lovers who feel lost when the thing they love is schematized, let us present an alternative path... where one may follow a work in total freedom, describe its manifestations (in a concert, a record store, in conversations, the press, etc.). Rather than attempting to grasp a work itself, let us grasp what and who is operating, and in so doing, nourish our passion.
