Towards the Third Way: Interdisciplinary Attitudes to the History and Practice of Listening

Report of Discussions

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  01 January 2020

Abstract

Contributions to the discussions following the papers presented at the Royal Musical Association conference ‘Listening: Interdisciplinary Perspectives’ held at King's College, Cambridge, on 24–25 November 2006 were particularly animated. This paper attempts to capture in outline the main exchanges of the question-and-answer sessions, while at the same time doing justice to the broad interdisciplinary spirit that characterized the event.
