Institute for History of Musical Reception and Interpretation


The Institute for History of Musical Reception and Interpretation is a musicological research institute at the University Mozarteum Salzburg.

Objectives

The institute was founded in June 2006 by Joachim Brügge, Wolfgang Gratzer, and Thomas Hochradner and is concerned with selected topics on the interpretation and reception of music. This should account for a self-concept of an Art University that sees musical practice and musicological reflection as equally creative activities that stimulate, correct and confirm each other.

Within the scope of a comprehensive music-historical approach, courses, projects, lectures, symposia, and publications of the institute's members deal with exemplary and symptomatic processes of musical interpretation and reception. An emphasis is put on the examination of Wolfgang Amadé Mozart's effective history.
The institute's name should reflect a distinction between forms of musical interpretation and forms of musical reception.
