Death and (Re) Birth of J.S. BachReconsidering Musical Authorship and the Work-Concept\nAuthor(s): Roberto Alonso Trillo\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: Routledge\nISBN-13: 9781138586260, 978-1138586260\nSynopsis\nWhile the study and redefinition of the notion of authorship and its relationship to the idea of the literary work have played a central role in recent research on literature, semiotics, and related disciplines, its impact on contemporary musicology is still limited. Why? What implications would a reconsideration of the author- and work-concepts have on our understanding of the creative musical processes? Why would such a re-examination of these regulative concepts be necessary? Could it emerge from a post-structuralist revision of the notion of musical textuality? In this book, Trillo takes the Bach project, a collection of new music based on Johann Sebastian Bachs Partita [url] for solo violin, BWV 1002, as a point of depar.
