THE MUSICIAN’S ROLE IN THE COMPOSITIONAL PROCESS
Throughout the history of music, the relationship between composer and musician has always been a subject of debate. From the composer’s perspective, the baroque period was characterised by craftsmanship and hard work. In the Romantic period, the concept of genius emerged. During the modernist era, the musician’s established techniques were challenged to the extreme. Today’s focus on dialogue may be understood as a response to this trend, but collaboration has long traditions. One can sometimes get the impression that a masterpiece has originated from one, unique imagination. More often, it is the result of successful collaboration.
