ABSTRACT The idea of a musical performance as an “interpretation” cannot be dated before the 1840s, yet we use the term unthinkingly as a synonym for a privileged performance of any music from the past. Tracing a history and pre-history of the metaphor and its usage sheds light on the eclipse of more richly textured models of music-making from previous eras as well as on an esthetic predicament within contemporary “historicist” performance. The limitations of the metaphor suggest moving “beyond interpretation” in favor of more experiential and intuitive notions of making music.

超越音乐的诠释

摘要 音乐表演作为“诠释”的想法不可能追​​溯到 1840 年代之前，但我们不假思索地将这个词用作过去任何音乐的特权表演的同义词。追溯隐喻及其用法的历史和史前史，可以揭示过去时代更丰富的音乐制作模式的黯然失色，以及当代“历史主义”表演中的审美困境。隐喻的局限性表明，“超越解释”有利于制作音乐的更多经验和直觉观念。
