The Energy of Musical Performance Art: Monograph

The monograph is devoted to the unexplored phenomenon in musicology - the energy of musical performance art. This subject of research is examined from the perspective of energism - a doctrine that encompassed philosophy, natural and humanities sciences, as well... as theory and practice of art in the 20th century. The study presents an experience in creating a theory of the energy of music and musical performance, where energy is most vividly expressed and has a communicative orientation - aimed at influencing the listener's perception of music. The monograph provides a classification of types, forms, and kinds of energy, along with an algorithm for analyzing the energetic composition - the hidden, non-notated structural and content-related plan of a musical work.The monograph is addressed to professional musicians - theorists and practitioners, as well as to those preparing themselves for professional activities in the field of musical art.
