Appel de conférences pour la conférence musicologique internationale « Authentic, Fake or Mistaken Identity? Creation, Recreation, Deception and Forgery in Music and the Related Arts », Centre de recherche de l’Académie slovène des sciences et des arts, Institut de musicologie, Ljubljana, Slovénie, 21-22 octobre 2021.

« The word ‘authentic’ has become controversial among musicians in recent years because of its use as a term for the historically informed performance of music. Instead, this conference will focus on its seemingly more straightforward meaning, denoting a musical work, instrument or other artefact that is proved to be genuine, and to its opposite, an artefact created with intent to deceive. Such fakes or forgeries in music and the related visual arts, whether compositions, documents, musical instruments or art works, are not so uncommon as one would expect, though scholarly investigations to unmask them are still rare. Furthermore, there are multiple grey areas to be investigated, covering the misdating, misattribution and misidentification of musical artefacts of all types, the process of borrowing, arranging and reuse of compositions, or techniques of deception in composition. »

Date limite de soumission : fin août 2020.
