Processer i sammenspil – en hermeneutisk undersøgelse som et bidrag til forståelse af det musikalske sammenspils fænomenologi

Abstract

ABSTRACT. - Processes of ensemble playing – a hermeneutical study as a contribution to the understanding of the phenomenology of musical ensemble playing. - How does ensemble playing appear between two musicians rehearsing graphic notated scores in a recording studio? The object of the research is a video recording of this situation. Viewing the video film three acts constantly occur in a specific order. A video sequence from each of the three acts is picked out and described and analysed with a phenomenological approach. In every one of the three acts the phenomenon ’ensemble playing’ manifests itself as a distinct intentional act constituting an intentional object. In the processes of ensemble playing the concepts of intersubjective contact and of the creation of musical products appear as the invariant traits of the phenomenon. The result of the research is an identification of ensemble playing as both individual and collective processes that contain a musical practice as well as a creation of a musical product. In addition the processes of ensemble playing involve a present act of playing and a distance to this play. - Keywords: ensemble playing, processes, video, phenomenology, hermeneutics
