Abstract

This Critical Forum has been developed from a round table discussion of Julian Horton’s 2020 article. The original discussion was convened by Ian Pace to conclude the Music in the University conference held at City, University of London in 2022. Representing different perspectives and preoccupations, yet sharing some common concerns, the original participants are joined here by Kofi Agawu and Gurminder Bhogal. It has been my privilege to collate these materials, aiming to retain something of the informal yet considered character of
the original event. Together, these reflective pieces offer a multi-faceted response
to Horton’s seminal contribution, as is appropriate given that – just as in a
Picasso cubist realisation, say The Girl with the Mandolin (1910) – there can be no single or simple view taken of the many issues he raises. This forum commences with a synopsis of the original article by Ian Pace(approved by Horton), followed by the seven commissioned responses. Horton then responds to those contributions, and Jonathan Dunsby, the chair of the conference round table and founding editor of this journal, has the last word. Music Analysis has a distinguished history of debate through Letters to the Editor. Readers are encouraged to add their views to those expressed here.
