Music is man's ability to charge sound waves with meaning, to design and use them as carriers of meaning and to attribute to them concreteness of identity and cultural binding force. The task of music research is to observe and describe sonic carriers of meaning in their cultural context and, where appropriate and necessary, to offer didactic mediation concepts based on empathetic, experience oriented learning.
