@article{Fogg_2013, title={Editor’s Note}, url={https://journals.library.columbia.edu/index.php/currentmusicology/article/view/5311}, DOI={10.7916/cm.v0i96.5311}, abstractNote={<p>There is a nice scene in Annie Hall where Woody Allen’s character, standup Alvy Singer, meets Carol Kane’s character, stage manager Allison Portchnik. Waiting in the wings at a variety show, Singer remonstrates with Portchnik over the scheduling. “What do you mean, ‘next’?” he asks with amazement. “I’m not going after another comedian . . . because they’re laughing . . . so what are you telling me? They’re gonna laugh at him for a couple of minutes then I’ve gotta go out there and get laughs too? How much can they laugh? They’re laughed out!” I know how he feels. Our previous special issue— Experimental Writing about Music, edited by David Gutkin—is impossible to follow. But only in that sense do I relate to Singer: although Experimental Writing has its laugh–out–loud moments, it is also possibly the most ambitious and unique volume of Current Musicology to date.

For the present issue, general operations resume: the articles collected here continue the journal’s unabating commitment to diverse content, high–quality scholarship, and rigorous peer review.</p>}, number={96}, journal={Current Musicology}, author={Fogg, Thomas}, year={2013}, month={Sep.} }
