There is a simple idea at the origin of this work: far from confining itself to a musicological discourse about the works, the analysis is also a form of musical practice in itself. Like composition or interpretation, it involves acts of reading, listening and writing. It also gives rise to national styles and traditions, and elicits or reflects debates about the nature of music.
A group of musicologists (analysts and historians) and researchers from other disciplines posed questions about the origins and meaning of everyday activities from analytical work: coding, transcription, reduction for the piano, segmentation, internal listening...but also drafting of texts, graphs and tables, that will give shape to the musical words of the analyst. How are these various actions joined together in a discipline that will henceforth be referred to as “musical analysis”?
