summaryI explain why the work-performance relation has come to occupy center stage in the contemporary debate on the metaphysical status of musical works, and I present the dominant invariantist account of that relation. I then counter that invariantism is at odds with certain aesthetically important intuitions regarding the role of performative interpretation, and I defend a contextualist alternative.
