Evaluative listening skills and the feasibility of their assessment by means of a forced-choice test

This thesis developed (a) a theory of Evaluative Listening Skills on the basis of Adorno's (1962, 1962/1976) types of musical conduct, and (b) tangible criteria for judging the appropriateness of interpretations. Evaluative Listening Skills (in regard to interpretations) were defined as the ability to make judgements about the value or the appropriateness of an interpretation of music. The interpretation criteria are based on the approach of structural interpretation and focus on the sensible and musical use of expressive means, acceptable levels of intensity employed by the performer, and technical aspects of the performance.
