In the field and the academy, lively debates around the definition and\/or value of virtuosity have always elicited strong and varied ideas. In the twenty-first century, frictions have emerged between traditional definitions of virtuosity and contemporary practices that emphasise collaboration and blur roles between performers, composers, and improvisers. \u003cem\u003eContemporary Musical Virtuosities \u003c\/em\u003eembraces the evolving processes, practitioners, and presentation models within twenty-first century art music.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis edited collection explores recent insights into the experience and role of virtuosity in different contexts, via contributions from an intergenerational group of artists, academics, and artist-academics. Their writing highlights current themes in contemporary western art music and intersecting musical and performing arts genres such as dance, sound art, improvisation, jazz, trans-traditional collaborations, and Australian Indigenous music. It offers models for supporting and recognising a plurality of musical virtuosities typically excluded from traditional definitions and examines implications for musical practice today. Chapters take the form of academic essays, artist reflections, interviews, personal letters, and a manifesto, reflecting the range of approaches and contexts covered.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe collection includes first writings on practices that have been present in the industry for some time not yet documented or examined in detail until now, and thus offers a vision for the future that prioritises inclusive and overlapping practices and processes in music.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46439350075543,"sku":"9781032310862","price":3902.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781032310862.webp?v=1769111110","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/contemporary-musical-virtuosities-9781032310862","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
