The conference, which will be attended by scholars from various disciplines, will explore the question of whether there is such a thing as musical material today, how the concept of tradition is to be understood and what kind of shifts have taken place in the discourse on form. Such issues have been crucial to the constitution of musical meaning in modern and contemporary classical music and in the arts in general. If they are no longer relevant, which concepts would be more relevant today?
The conference will be held in English and will take place in the auditorium of the Department of Culture and Aesthetics at Stockholm University.
