Abstract

Contemporary musicology, as our age in general, is lacerated by innumerable virtues and ills of scholarly, ethical, philosophical, ideological, political, and even timeserving natures.1 A most bizarre orchestra seems to be performing the musicological world symphony, where, to use Leo Treitler's words, rattling of skeletons in the halls of human learning2 blends with a George-Kneplertype approach: tfcour aim is the improvement of our (i.e. East German; my italics-JB) musical culture.3 Present-day musicology includes rigidly normative as well as extremely pluralistic trends, highly biased evaluatory dicta, and the value-free work -document approach, while the dissonant drone of the conflict between historical, ethnological, and systematic concepts still makes itself heard.
