Vol. 55 No. III, 7 (2025): Performing Classics Today. The Role of the Performer in the Actualization of Music
Classical music is not merely a heritage to be preserved, but a living practice that is renewed over time through the experience of performance. The essays collected in this volume explore the performative dimension as a privileged space of tension between past and present, memory and creation, reestablishing the connections between composition and improvisation and offering a vision of classical music as an open and historically situated practice. At the heart of this volume lies the musicians’ artistry: their ability to transform tradition into a shared experience, to reshape the relationship between text, gesture, and listening, and to demonstrate how the “classics” continue to exist only through the fleeting moment of performance.
