Original title: The Imaginary Museum of Musical Works: An Essay in the Philosophy of Music. Second Revised Edition

The central issue of the publication is the concept of a musical "work", which turns out to be a historically conditioned phenomenon that crystallized around 1800. It was then that the norms and customs that characterize social practices related to classical music were born. This issue is presented in a broad historical context, going back to ancient times and forward - to the experimental trends of the 20th century.
