Abstract

After a series of abstract sound-oriented topics of creativity we want to consider a practical aspect of music: musical instruments and how they are played by humans. We give an in-depth description of the physical theory of instruments in the theory chapter 21, and especially in section 21.1.2 devoted to technical question regarding the making of sound. Here we focus on the creative rather than the descriptive aspect: How can we be creative when we play an instrument?
