Nowa muzyka i jej odbiorcy. Słuchając utworu B. Schäffera pt. Quattro movimenti

Abstract

The presented text is an attempt to introduce the study of the reception of certain concepts borrowed from phenomenological sociology. For this purpose 128 „protocols of reception” were analyzed, and two styles of reception were distinguished (M. Głowiński). The first one was defined as a non-literary reception style, and the second one as the opposing was called a literary reception style. Moreover some characteristic ways of listening were distinguished within each of this two styles. Initially, a reference was made in the analysis to the concept of musical competence in its semiotic sense (G. Stefani). However, at a certain moment it appeared that it would be useful to refer to the perspective of phenomenological sociology, which seaks to explicate social rules of common sense knowledge. As emotional experiencing of music was clearly visible in all protocols an important role could be played by determining the „methods” of ascribing emotional characteristics and showing how emotions are generated. In this way, a semiotic perception of competence should be enriched by new theoretical - analytical dimensions.
