文档介绍：Musical Creativity
This collection initiates a resolutely multidisciplinary research dynamic
specifically concerning musical creativity. Creativity is one of the most chal-
lenging issues currently facing scientific psychology and its study has been
relatively rare in the cognitive sciences, especially in artificial intelligence. This
book will address the need for a coherent and thorough exploration.
Musical Creativity: Multidisciplinary Research in Theory and Practice
comprises seven sections, each viewing musical creativity from a different
scientific vantage point, from the philosophy puter modelling, through
music education, interpretation, neuroscience, and music therapy, to experi-
mental psychology. Each section contains discussions by eminent inter-
national specialists of the issues raised, and the book concludes with a postlude
discussing how we can understand creativity in the work of poser,
Jonathan Harvey.
This unique volume presents an up-to-date snapshot of the scientific study
of musical creativity, in conjunction with (the European Society for
the Cognitive Sciences of Music). Describing many of the different aspects of
musical creativity and their study, it will form a useful springboard for further
such study in future years, and will be of interest to academics and practi-
tioners in music, psychology, cognitive science, artificial intelligence, neuro-
science and other fields concerning the study of human cognition in this most
human of behaviours.
