The precedent phenomenon as a marker of accessible perception in contemporary music.

Abstract

The perception and comprehension of contemporary academic music remain a prominent concern within the realm of artistic culture in society. Several key factors contribute to this phenomenon, which we consider to be pivotal. Establishing a culture of attentive listening necessitates purposeful training of listeners to engage with both historical and contemporary samples of academic music.
