Is music a performing art? If so, what should be the position of the composer? The jazz musician maintains a direct link with performance; even within electronic music, there is precisely such a thing as live electronics... but what about other figures in the musical field? (such as the musicologist?)

I am not sure I understood the question

Let's put it this way, is music tied to performance?
Moderator
yes it is. The definition of music as a performing art is quite intuitive.

...so are the composers after Liszt musicians?

eh?!

Curiosity, but the performer without a composer... what would they play during their performance?
An element for reflection: can a solo musician play an orchestra?

Of course, the naiveté of this conversation is a bit disheartening: we propose great themes such as "music as performing art," and then we don't know how to go beyond Twitter-style arguments, max 160 characters!

Ok RedSchalach, what do you think about the subject? Rather than an argument, mine was supposed to be a question... and in fact, in my opening post there are a few "?"

Not by chance was I speaking of the post-Liszt era

I find this one already more interesting

in the discussion on narrativity I have just spoken a little about performativity.
There would be many things to say, but if the question is not hit correctly, it is a bit difficult to give a serious answer...
