In a qualitative study, we explored the range of reflections and experiences involved in the composition of score-based music by administering a 15-item, open-ended, questionnaire to seven professional composers from Europe and North America. Adopting a grounded theory approach, we organized six different codes emerging from our data into two higher-order categories ( and ). Our content analysis, inspired by the theoretical resources of 4E cognitive science, points to three overlapping characteristics of creative cognition in music composition: it is largely exploratory, it is grounded in bodily experience, and it emerges from the recursive dialogue of agents and their environment. More generally, such preliminary findings suggest that musical creativity may be advantageously understood as a process of constant adaptation - one in which composers enact their musical styles and identities by exploring novel interactivities hidden in their contingent and historical milieux.
在一项定性研究中，我们通过向来自欧洲和北美的七位专业作曲家发放一份包含15个开放式问题的问卷，探索了基于乐谱的音乐创作中所涉及的各种思考和体验。我们采用扎根理论方法，将从数据中得出的六个不同代码组织成两个高阶类别（ 和 ）。我们受4E认知科学理论资源启发进行的内容分析指出了音乐创作中创造性认知的三个重叠特征：它在很大程度上是探索性的，它基于身体体验，并且它产生于主体与其环境的递归对话。更一般地说，这些初步发现表明，音乐创造力可能有益地被理解为一个不断适应的过程——在这个过程中，作曲家通过探索隐藏在他们偶然的历史环境中的新颖互动来塑造他们的音乐风格和身份。
