The next category of Sehnal's academic publications relates to the issues of pipe organs and pipe organ...

Okolnosti výzkumu nejstarší hudby - poznámky k evoluční etnomuzikologii

Kristián Nosál

Musicologica Olomucensia vol. 14, (2011):101-115 | DOI: 10.5507/mo.2011.015

Man braucht sich demzufolge nicht zu wundern, dass die evolutionsorientierte Musikwissenschaft eher vom Interesse von Wissenschaftlern von anderen als musikwissenschaftlichen Bereichen ausging. Trotzdem ist es wichtig, die Notwendigkeit des ethnomusikologischen Ansatzes zur Forschung im Bereich der Ursprünge der Musik und deren Evolution zu bekräftigen....
