The essays in this volume interrogate the aesthetic, cultural, artistic,
and pedagogical aspects of musical improvisation. Improvisation is also
a form of research, and as such, an instrument of knowledge, but how
does this research broaden the horizon of improvisation? What form of
research is appropriate to and derived from improvisation, and what
qualities does improvisation offer artistic research? This bilingual
book provides a fascinating portal into contemporary scholarship on
music and performance.
