This book provides a multifaceted view on the relation between the old and the new in music, between tradition and innovation. This is a much-debated issue, generating various ideas and theories, which rarely come to unanimous conclusions. Therefore, the book offers diverse perspectives on topics such as national identities, narrative strategies, the question of musical performance and musical meaning. Alongside themes of general interest, such as classical repertoire, the music of well-established composers and musical topics, the chapters of the book also touch on specific, but equally interesting subjects, like Brazilian traditions, Serbian and Romanian composers and the lullaby. While the book is mostly addressed to researchers, it can also be recommended to students in musicology, ethnomusicology, musical performance, and musical semiotics.

Oana Andreica is an associate professor at the Department of Musicology of the "Gheorghe Dima" National Music Academy in Cluj-Napoca, Romania, where she teaches Musicology and Musical Semiotics, as well as musical secretary of the Transylvania State Philharmonic. She was engaged in a postdoctoral project, conducting research on musical semiotics and Costin Miereanu's music. She regularly participates in national and international musicology conferences and her list of publications comprises books, studies, articles, interviews, and chronicles. In 2012, she published the monograph Arta si abis. Cazul Mahler (Art and Abyss. The Mahler Case) and in 2020 the book entitled Ghid (incomplet) de concert [(Uncomplete) Concert Guide]. She is also a co-editor of the volume Readings in Numanities, published by Springer in 2018.
