The study of musical composition has been marked by a didactic, techniquebased approach, focusing on the understanding of musical language and grammar harmony, counterpoint, orchestration and arrangement or on generic and stylistic categories. In the field of the psychology of music, the study of musical composition, even in the twentyfirst century, remains a poor cousin to the literature which relates to musical perception, music performance, musical preferences, musical memory and so on. Our understanding of the compositional process has, in the main, been informed by anecdotal aftertheevent accounts or post hoc analyses of composition. The Act of Musical Composition: Studies in the Creative Process presents the first coherent exploration around this unique aspect of human creative activity. The central threads, or key themes compositional process, creative thinking and problemsolving are integrated by the combination of theoretical understandings of creativity with innovative empirical work.
