Musical Text as an Integral Information Structure of Virtual Reality

Main Article Content

Irina A. Brodova

Abstract

The author believes that a unified approach to comprehending a musical text is possible if we consider it as an integral information structure of virtual reality and as an external form of a dialogue of cosmic consciousnesses arising on the basis of the universal experience of cognizing the information essence of the Universe. The ground for the information approach is given by modern philosophy, which relates information to the same attributes of matter as substance, energy, space and time. Such an approach opens the way to the virtual reality of a musical text hidden from direct observation. The author is convinced of existing such a specific musical-informational field as melos, which is at odds with its generally accepted interpretation. The article suggests that the information approach helps to overcome the defragmentation of its interpretation and explains the nature of the interaction of a musical text with other types of literary texts, more broadly with all functional and semantic types of speech, including “real world texts”.


Keywords: musical text, virtual reality, typology of virtual realities of musical text, informational nature of melos, isomorphism of musical notation, basic principles of subordination of sheet music signs.
