Attempts to locate and define the 'musical work, ' whether through musical notation, recordings, or performances, have led to meaningful--yet multiple--inquiries. Cugny deftly untangles these philosophical threads across distinct musical genres, exploring them through points of contact and/or conflict.--Keith Waters, author of The Studio Recordings of the Miles Davis Quintet, 1965-68 and Postbop Jazz in the 1960s: The Compositions of Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, and Chick Corea In this rich and rigorous work, Laurent Cugny masterfully bridges aesthetic theory and musicological analysis. His approach to the ontology of jazz and popular music is both innovative and critically informed, offering valuable insights for scholars across traditions.--Vincenzo Caporaletti, professor of musicology at University of Macerata and author of Theory of Audiotactile Music: The Basic Concepts
