Subject matter and story

Studies on Valuation Research 1 (1968)

The studies on valuation research are devoted to the philosophical penetration of musical phenomena . Harald Kaufmann founded the book series in 1968 in Graz (Austria). When formulating the title, Kaufmann based himself on the studies in musicology founded by Guido Adler in 1913 . Theodor W. Adorno , who was a friend of Kaufmann, contributed to the first two volumes ( symposium for music criticism and essays ) . After Kaufmann's early death in 1970, Otto Kolleritsch continued the series published by Universal Edition (Vienna - London - New York, NY), Austria's only international music publisher. Volume 7 of Studies on Evaluation Research (1976) was a major impetus for the now global Zemlinsky - Renaissance .

Since 2004, Andreas Dorschel , Professor of Aesthetics at the Institute for Music Aesthetics at the Art University Graz , has given the series new impulses. Since then, the advisory board for studies on valuation research has included the pianist Alfred Brendel (London), the composer Isabel Mundry (Zurich), the writer Hans-Ulrich Treichel (Leipzig), the sociologist Georgina Born (Cambridge and Oxford), the musicologist Peter Franklin (Oxford ) and Birgit Lodes (Vienna) as well as the philosophers Avishai Margalit (Jerusalem) and Lydia Goehr (New York, NY). Roger Scruton was a member until his death. Volume 55 (2013, Jacqueline Fontyn ) and Volume 59 (2018, Elizabeth Maconchy ) are the first volumes to be devoted to the work of women composers.

Debate about 'music-historical conjunctives'

The price of progress (2008)

Progress, understood as problem solving, can be questioned: “Were the assumed problems actually solved, could not alternative approaches have been just as effective (or even more so) and what artistic possibilities did you take with the path that was finally chosen? Displacing older or alternative models in this way means a loss which, for various reasons, was seen as subordinate to the assumed profit. ”In the volume On the Price of Progress. Gains and losses in music history (Studies on Valuation Research 49) have argued Andreas Haug and Andreas Dorschel that the possibilities presented by a music-historical situation form the background against which the historically actually taken options can only be understood. Case studies from the music of the Middle Ages to composing in the 20th century test this methodical concept in the volume. It has not gone unchallenged; Reinhard Kapp justified the criticism of her in particular: “The problem with this whole problem is that although we usually talk about the winner or the profit are quite well informed, but can only hypothetically and speculatively develop rather vague ideas about the loser / loss side. To a certain extent, the inventions have not made it ready for series production, the concepts have not been sufficiently tested, and what is lost is much poorer documented. Perhaps it can give reasons for why an option was chosen or taken, and show the consequences. But we do not know whether that which one has refrained from developing, that has been suppressed or simply exchanged for something else, actually meant the chance for development or would have been a real alternative, because either there was no ongoing work on it at that time (can take place), or we are - because historiography usually agrees with the 'stronger battalions' - only inadequately informed about it. "But Kapp also concedes:" The question about the losses is at least an effective means of getting one to ventilate at a certain point in time, what exactly has just happened. Even if it only allows one to keep an eye on the leeway currently gained. "
