Call for Papers: Leonardo Music Journal 20 (2010) -- Improvisation
Improvisation has been a critical component in many forms music around the world throughout most of history and is an essential quality of human intelligence that extends far beyond the borders of art. It remains, nonetheless, a controversial subject in contemporary Western music: detested and denounced by such titans as Pierre Boulez and John Cage, embraced with equal fervor by others, and seriously misunderstood by many.
