Embodiment of Musical Creativity: The Cognitive and Performative Causality of Musical Composition

Embodiment of Musical Creativity offers an innovative look at the interdisciplinary nature of creativity in musical composition. Using examples from empirical research in creativity studies, music theory and cognition, psychology and philosophy, performance and education studies, and the authors own creative practice, the book examines how the reciprocity of cognition and performativity contributes to our understanding of musical creativity in composition. Embodiment of Musical Creativity provides a comparative study of musical composition, in turn articulating a new perspective on musical creativity.
