Visit an orchestral factory. This is the singular project proposed in this book. He thus invites to explore the functioning of the orchestra as a workplace. Throughout the pages, the reader will discover the way in which the music is developed within a collective composed of a leader, man or woman, musicians and musicians.
By entering the studio where the music is in the making, we understand better how a musical interpretation is developed in a cooperative context. Even if it is a "multiplayer game", the fact remains that a predominant central figure directs the performance. It is by following step by step conductors Claudio Abbado, Laurence Equilbey and Claire Gibault, in particular, that the interactions that contribute to the construction of an interpretation are examined. By the ethnographic survey, some manufacturing secrets are broken: those that relate to the relationships between individuals struggling with an artistic action of (re) creation.
A major contribution to the analysis of music in action, this book offers an innovative reading of the power relations that occur during collective musical work. Multiple sociomusical interactions, tinged with negotiations and cooperation, characterize the creative processes at work ... between negotiated authority and shared creativity.
