In his interdisciplinary study Mooiman argues that in the context of Western Art Music, improvisation is not to be seen as a quasi-autonomous skill or art form, but as an aspect of music-making in general. Mooiman offers a ‘panorama’ of nineteenth-century styles and situations of music-making that together sketch a picture of improvisatory aspects of nineteenth-century music.
