Musical Extrapolations [electronic resource] : Creative Processes Involved While Music is Being Listened to and Composed /
Schmidt, Sebastian.author.
The present book proposes a systematic understanding about the conditions, mechanisms, influences, and processes evolving into a creative behavior in music, based on interdisciplinary perspectives of the cognitive sciences.In his research study, Sebastian Schmidt focuses on so-called musical extrapolations’ processes which bring the elusive quality of music into mental existence by creating extrapolations about possible future occurring events, their musical meanings, and the interrelations of their meanings. These processes, involved while music is being listened to and composed, are defined as the result of implicit and explicit problem-solving processes which are guided in tangible ways by factors of intrinsic activities and motivation, pre-disposed and experience-based structures, and environmental pressure. Contents Perspectives of Developmental Psychology – Between Pre-disposed Structures and Musical Experience Perspectives on Creativity in General and while Music is being Listened to and Composed At the very Heart (of Music) The Model of Musical Extrapolations – Basic Factors and their Inter-dependencies Perspectives of Investigation Based on the Outlined Model of Musical Extrapolations Target Groups Lecturers and students of media sciences Media researcher, systematic musicologists, educational psychologists, and creativity researcher About the Author Sebastian Schmidt received his doctorate at the University of Music in Karlsruhe, Germany. His research specializes in the tension field between musicology, music theory,and the cognitive sciences.
