Abstract

The article examines the sources and the present-day condition
of musical cognitive science. It is noted that by means of
musicology’s turn towards the cognitive scientific paradigm, the
study of the forms of musical being is carried out on the basis of
elaboration of informational torrents coming from the physical
world, biological matter, society and culture.
The cognitive research direction in musical scholarship is
at the stage of active formation, but already at the present time
brings music theory out onto a new scholarly level, touching upon
the entire surrounding world.
Musical cognitive science makes it possible to place new
accents pointing to the perspectives of understanding the meaningbearing
structure of interpretation its diverse connections with the
cognizing subject, his intellect, experience and level of mental
activity. From such positions musical cognitive science may be
examined not only as a basis for contemporary science, but also
as a means of integral knowledge about the art of music in the
system of the world order.

Keywords: cognitive theory, cognitive musicology, musical
cognition, interpretation
