Understanding how musicians can coordinate their musical actions when they improvise together remains an important theoretical and empirical challenge. In this article, we suggest a broad theoretical framework, compatible with up-to-date research on joint action, which can account for coordination in collective improvisation, especially in the hard case of so-called collective free improvisation. This framework addresses the limits of an account of coordination in collective improvisation that relies only on low-level, emergent coordination mechanisms, and shows how these mechanisms can be combined with planned coordination mechanisms to explain how improvisers deal with some of the main coordination problems that typically arise in collectively improvised performances. As such, our framework allows for the formulation of new hypotheses that pave the way for further empirical investigations on collective improvisation and sheds light on collectively improvised behavior at large.

理解音乐家即兴表演时如何协调他们的音乐行为仍然是一个重要的理论和经验挑战。在本文中，我们提出了一个广泛的理论框架，该框架与联合行动的最新研究兼容，可以解释集体即兴创作中的协调，特别是在所谓的集体自由即兴创作的艰难情况下。该框架解决了仅依靠低层次的紧急协调机制进行的集体即兴协调工作的局限性，并说明了如何将这些机制与计划的协调机制结合起来，以解释即兴演奏者如何处理一些主要的协调问题，通常出现在集体即兴表演中。因此，
