In this article, applied musicology is discussed in the context of research on incidental music in Serbia—a task which, to my knowledge, has not been undertaken so far. In recent years, the body of publications on applied musicology has notably expanded, resulting in a number of important articles and a landmark collective monograph. This, in turn, prompted me to view my main research interests—applied music and, in particular, incidental music—through the lens of applied musicology and offer my perspective on the possibilities of regarding incidental music as a field that can benefit from applied-musicological interventions. In this article, I draw attention to challenges that arise once a musicologist sets out to analyse incidental music. I undertake this by (a) presenting what I define as a reconstructive-analytical method in approaching incidental music and (b) utilising the narrative “behind the scenes” of my doctoral research.

从应用音乐学的角度对偶然音乐的研究


在本文中，应用音乐学是在塞尔维亚偶然音乐研究的背景下讨论的——据我所知，这项任务到目前为止还没有进行过。近年来，应用音乐学的出版物范围显著扩大，产生了许多重要的文章和具有里程碑意义的集体专著。这反过来又促使我通过应用音乐学的视角来看待我的主要研究兴趣——应用音乐，特别是偶然音乐——并就将偶然音乐视为一个可以从应用音乐学干预中受益的领域的可能性提出了我的观点。在这篇文章中，我提请注意一旦音乐学家开始分析偶然音乐就会出现的挑战。我通过以下方式来做到这一点：（a） 提出我所定义的处理偶然音乐的重建分析方法，以及 （b） 利用我博士研究的“幕后”叙述。
