Psychology of Music is a flourishing area of research in the Western Balkans. However, much of its findings and insights have remained relatively unknown outside the region. Psychological Perspectives on Musical Experiences and Skills features recent research from the Western Balkans, foregrounding its specific topics, methods, and influences, and bringing it into productive conversation with complementary research from Western Europe and further afield. The essays in this collection investigate the psychology of listening and performance and their relevance to music practice. Employing a range of research methodologies, they address divergent themes, from a cross-cultural understanding of a...
This book provides a new approach to the intersections between music and philosophy. It features articles that rethink the concepts of musical work and performance from ontological and epistemological perspectives and discuss issues of performing practices that involve the performer’s and listener’s perceptions.

Ad fontem musicae – An der Quelle der Musik: das ist die Musiksammlung der Österreichischen Nationalbibliothek. Ihrem langjährigen Leiter Thomas Leibnitz ist diese Festschrift zum 65. Geburtstag gewidmet. Sie versammelt musikwissenschaftliche Beiträge renommierter Autorinnen und Autoren, die den Jubilar nicht nur ehren, sondern auch auf seine zahlreichen Interessensgebiete in der Welt der Musik eingehen. Die Wiener Musikgeschichte – und hier vor allem Anton Bruckner – steht im Mittelpunkt der wissenschaftlichen Arbeit von Thomas Leibnitz, der seit 2005 auch Präsident der Internationalen Bruckner-Gesellschaft ist. Seine musikhistorischen Kenntnisse spiegeln sich nicht nur in Studien zur Haydn-Hymne, zu Mozarts Requiem und zu Hans Pfitzner wider, sondern auch in der Gestaltung von Ausstellungen und Katalogen zu Joseph Haydn, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Richard Strauss, Richard Wagner oder zuletzt Ludwig van Beethoven.

In Sound Design is t...
