| Sumario: | Is musical practice 'real' -- and how is it connected with everyday life? Eva-Maria Houben shows that making music changes as soon as its meaning is not sought in a purpose-oriented production of results, but in performing music as an activity -- indeed, as play. Musical practice, Eva-Maria Houben contends, should be understood as open and never finished.

Thus understood, musical practice can become a form of life and a reality in its own right. |
