N2  - Jeanette Bicknell explores key aesthetic, ethical, and other philosophical questions that have not yet been thoroughly researched by philosophers, musicologists, or scientists. Issues addressed include: The relationship between the meaning of a song's words and its music; The performer's role and the ensuing gender complications, social ontology, and personal identity; The performer's ethical obligations to audiences, composers, lyricists, and those for whom the material holds particular significance; and The metaphysical status of isolated solo performances
