| Description | Analogously to Bolzanos theory of sentence as such (Satz an sich), or Peirces type/token distinction, there is performance of musical composition, notation of musical composition and imagination of musical composition. What is common, is musical work (composition) as such; composition is an abstract object. All compositions are given a priori (they do not arise or disappear), composer only writes down the score of imagined composition. Scores (or graphs of composition) are the only expressions (in the logical meaning of this word). Composition is something what some score (or graph which arose after some performance) expresses. In the case of music, the score (or graph) denotes the composition as such; the score via the composition as such refers to a concrete performance. On the other hand, the concrete performance (mere sounds, concrete tones) has no denotation or reference. |
