About works / performance

In the scene of contemporary art music, it would be rare to have an ensemble piece to be performed again after its premiere. There are a lot of possible causes for this circumstances. However, the main reason could be the lack of consistency in notation method. The standardisation of notation method would provide an easier access to the music for other performers who did not premiere the piece. This would also minimised the lost of artistic possibilities through transmission. Furthermore, the standasation of notation would also provide the space for further development of the art.
