Anniversary Treatise [Mozart]

After Γεώργιος (Musto) Χοιροβοσκός



"The score as a founding document of re-creation has no temporal status. It is both precedent and descendent of realization. The score always arrives after the fact, to dictate the fact. (...) A performance of the piece would not exhaust the score; it would still call for another realization and another, ad infinitum. This is another feature of the score. It is never satisfied."
Seth Kim-Cohen, In the blink of an ear, 2009, pp.49-51
