Abstract

Two kinds of musical interpretation will be explored in this essay: critical interpretation in the tradition of musical hermeneutics and interpretation as performance. Søren Kierkegaard's philosophy of music will also be discussed, specifically on how an idea in music is expressed. Richard Wagner's musical hermeneutic and performance interpretations will emerge from this background not as irreconcilable activities, but rather as the progression of an argument based on the illustration of tangible meaning in music.
