Der Titel des Bandes sollte nicht verwirren, sondern Aufmerksamkeit erregen: Es gibt nahezu unzahlige Abhandlungen in Aufsatz- und Buchform mit dem Titelanteil Musik und ... (Sprache, Gesellschaft, Religion der Phantasie sind kaum Grenzen gesetzt). Ihnen sollte keineswegs ein weiterer Band hinzugefuegt werden. Vielmehr zielt das Wortchen als an Stelle von und auf die Vielzahl von Gesichtspunkten, unter denen das so schwer definierbare Phanomen Musik sinnvoll betrachtet werden kann. Es sollten jedoch keineswegs durch weitere Oberbegriffe neue Definitionsversuche angeregt werden; vielmehr galt es beispielhaft aufzuzeigen, welche Erkenntnismoglichkeiten allein in verschiedenen Blickrichtungen steckten. Die AutorInnen gehoren verschiedenen Generationen an, reprasentieren verschiedenste Teilgebiete ihrer Fachrichtungen, sind in diesen unterschiedlich sozialisiert und sprechen wohl auch durchaus verschiedene Interessensgruppen an. Daher wurden diese Unterschiede nicht durch editorische Maanahmen eingeebnet, sondern sichtbar belassen bis hin zu Zitierweisen, ja Fragen des Layouts. Wirklich Interessierte werden sich daran nicht stoaen oder gar an ihrer Rezeptionsweise behindert. The title "Music as ..." should not confuse, but rather draw attention: there are innumerable books entitled "Music and ..." (language, society, religion fancy knows no limits) and certainly no further such volumes are needed. Using the little word "as" instead of "and" points to the large range of viewpoints from which the phenomenon music, so difficult to define, can reasonably be seen. Under no circumstances should it inspire new definition attempts through still more labels; far more it should demonstrate the many perceptions that are possible merely by changing one's viewpoint. The authors are of different ages, represent a wide number of specialisations, and belong to various social groups, thereby addressing different interest groups. These differences were not smoothed out by the editors, but were left visible even in the manner of referencing or the layout. The truly interested should not stumble over this nor let it limit their response. German text.
