Summary

This chapter describes the overall extension of music-related activities in the space-time of human existence. The basic scope of the systematization as described in this book is declared. Our selection of corresponding fundamental scientific domains is not meant as a qualitative judgment over other scientific or artistic domains; it merely names the scientific pillars of the musical realm.

Musik ist das ganze Leben.

Rudolf Wille [578]
