The role of the musician in the community has been an established form of study by ethnomusicologists for many years, yet this is the first book to make the same kind of examination of the place of the musician in Western-art music-making. Examining the status and self-perception of the professional performer of art music, Stephen Cottrell discusses the significance of ritual, myth-making and humour for the lives of musicians in the West.
