Abstract

Musical space in its general sense can be defined as the relational structure of the sound phenomenon (Piana 1991, 2013), considered internally in the imaginative significance of the sound matter and externally in its relationship with the sound body and the environment. According to Giovanni Piana (2013, but see also Serra 2008 and Di Stefano 2022), the concept has two meanings. The first is a transposed or internal one, referring to sound as such, i.e. in itself, and to some qualities of sound perception, such as intervals, rhythms, melodies, and timbres, which can be interpreted in terms of spatiality. The second is a literal or external meaning, indicating the relationships between sound sources, movement and resonance in a resonant body or environment. As a structural aspect of sound matter and, correlatively, of the ways in which it is understood, sound spatiality has been the subject of various insights in different epochs and cultures.
