Summary/Abstract: Through an inspired and extremely concise title, professor George Balint brings together the actors of the critical process, watch¬ing them from the back of the con¬cert hall: the critic (the aesthetic gaze), the audience (attempt at contemplating) and the performer (the music). Through these essays of musical exegesis and hermeneu¬tics, the author substitutes himself for each of them: as a professor and editor-in-chief of the Actualitatea muzicală journal of the Composers’ Union – for the critic; as a conductor and composer – for the performer; and, finally, as a publicist and essay¬ist – for the audience.
