Musical Agency and the Social Listener Summary

Musical Agency and the Social Listener by Cora S. Palfy

An overarching goal of the book is to provide justification for the use of musical agency as an analytical tool and descriptor.

The project is also of interest also to researchers in the fields of cognitive science and social psychology, who may be interested in interdisciplinary research about how music affects the brain.

The book may also be of interest to social theorists, who investigate the relationship between agency, social practices, and human subjectivity.

It also bears non-specialists in mind and a significant portion is meant to be approachable by academics in any field as well as by many laypersons with a baccalaureate education.

Musical Agency and the Social Listener Reviews

Musical Agency and the Social Listener offers refreshing and original perspective on music analysis. Weaving together insights from cognitive psychology and music analysis, Cora Palfy shows how many styles of music that imply gesture or movement invite listeners to experience expectations that may give rise to agential interpretations. Particularly notable is the variety of musical styles and composers she incorporates, including piano music by Johannes Brahms and Cecile Chaminade alongside songs by Journey and Lin-Manuel Miranda.
