Preferred term

authorship  

Definition(s)

  • In its most common use today in the field of music, the term authorship stands for one or more actual individual(s) creating a piece of music—that is, the composer(s) of a musical work (and in the context of songwriting and musical theater, the lyricist(s), too). The idea is that someone creates a work of music autonomously as an authentic expression of the artist with authority regarding the meaning of his/her work, which keeps its identity through all performances, arrangements, variations, improvisations, etc., on its basis.
