The Imaginary Museum of Musical Works: An Essay in the Philosophy of Music

Rating:
Summary: I really enjoyed it
Review: I found this book to be thoroughly engrossing, exciting, and fascinating. I frequently get into all sorts of hand-waving strange arguments with people, about "musical works" (e.g. my pseudo-"composition"/appropriation work "Your Life Up To This Moment"), and in Lydia Goehr's book, I found a very useful framework for thinking clearly and critically about such things.
