CALL FOR PAPERS

“Formulate with the greatest care”: Adorno and Performance

RNCM, Manchester (UK), 13–14 September 2008

Gnomic, speculative, penetrating, Adorno’s major work on music performance 
occupied him throughout his life. Unfinished at his death, the copious 
notes and drafts have recently been collated as Towards a Theory of 
Musical Reproduction (2001, Eng. 2006). This conference will be based 
around readings of Adorno’s text and its contexts, interpretations, and 
uses.

Confirmed speakers include the translator Wieland Hoban (Germany), Robert 
Hullot-Kentor (US), Lydia Goehr (US), Max Paddison (UK), Andrew Bowie 
(UK), and John Deathridge (UK).

Proposals are invited for papers of 20 mins. Abstracts of 500 words should 
be emailed by 18 April 2008 to anthony.gritten em rncm.ac.uk .

The programme will be available at www.rncm.ac.uk/content/view/134/80/ , 
with information on registration and accommodation, in May 2008.

Organisers: Anthony Gritten and Nicholas Baragwanath.
