Origin and nature of cognitive and systematic musicology

an introduction

Marc Leman , Albrecht Schneider

pp. 11-29

This paper gives an introduction to the origin and nature of cognitive and systematic musicology. A brief overview of the history of systematic musicology is presented and the developments are sketched that contributed to the rise of cognitive musicology. It is argued that the breakthrough of computing has offered many new opportunities to revisit the old problems of Gestalt perception and its associated theory. The paper closes with a perspective on future developments.
