Know about the book -

Performing Knowledge is written by Daphne Leong and published by Oxford University Press. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0190653566 (ISBN 10) and 9780190653569 (ISBN 13).

Performing Knowledge explores the relationship between musical performance and analysis through a unique collaboration between a music theorist and a cast of internationally renowned performers, investigating major musical works of the twentieth century--Ravel, Schoenberg, Bartók, Schnittke, Milhaud, Messiaen, Babbitt, Carter, and Morris. The book is a brave crossing of disciplinary divides between scholarship and practice, a theory text enlivened by the voices of performers who create, interpret, and articulate structure.
