abstract: The concept of interpretation has a very broad application, since it
is used within the philosophical, literary, philological, religious, juridical
and psychoanalytical fields, in the arts, in music, dance and drama. This work
is about interpretation as road toward consciousness, which the receiver will
go along in order to choose his own interpretation of the object he is relating
to. In fact, each interpretation highlights the main characteristics of the
object and, at the same time, the principal interpretive values which the
interpreter refers to. In the first part, comparisons are made between the
different fields in which interpretation is practised, in order to find out if
there are relevant analogies among them, and if analogous epistemological
criteria could be used in the relative research. The second part concerns
musical interpretation, and focuses on specific questions: hermeneutic and
performative interpretation, problems relating to musical texts, issues
concerning ancient and contemporary music, different interpretive criteria, and
the role and function of the teacher of performative interpretation.
