Abstract

Along the XIXth century, the roles of composers and performers seceded and this gave rise to diverse opinions about the extents of the performer's role and the way the music work and it's graphic text, the score, should be conceived. This article reviews some of these opinions, in all of which however we find a common element admitted, the performer's unavoidable contribution, defined in terms of the so called musical cognitive - enactive semiotics,  the gesture and performance studies and the body participation in that performance as an instance of meaning and, at the same time, vehicle of communication of that musical meaning.
