Abstract

This anthology addresses interested readers not only from music sociology but also from the broader scholarly field of music research—and for good reasons: The term ‘music sociology’ is indeed ambiguous since it refers to a subfield of sociology, though it is often understood as a subfield of systematic musicology in the German-speaking academic field or as special focus of music research, shedding light on the social embedding and social conditions of musical practices.
