"Music theory and Interpretation"

Between theory of music and the interpretation or reading of a score an
intensive exchange exists. Within our institutes, it is the prevailing
opinion that music theory supports the practical interpretation of music.
On the other hand, interpretation itself could become a topic of
theoretical reflection. Or one could say that an analysis equals
interpretation. What exactly do we mean with "interpretation"? What role
does improvisation play in it? As could be concluded from this ambiguous
inventory, the topic chosen brings many aspects of music theory together,
whether it is theory of Jazz, traditional music theory at conservatoires,
or music analysis as a research discipline.
