    Part of a larger discussion

    Challenges→A performance that departs from the prescribed notes may still count as a rendering of the original work by virtue of symbolic reference to and exemplification of that work, even while being ontologically an instance of a distinct work.

    Goodman's own theory treats notational compliance as the constitutive criterion of work-identity, making symbolic reference categorically insufficient for work-membership.

    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.Notational compliance provides objective, verifiable criteria for work-identity across performances, avoiding subjective interpretation disputes.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Symbolic reference alone allows infinite variations claiming the same work, undermining the concept of a determinate work as distinct entity.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.In notation-dependent arts like music and dance, compliance with the score constitutes the core identity condition, not merely a descriptor.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against
    ?
    • 1.Notational compliance criterion excludes non-notated works (visual art, literature, improvisation) from having stable identities, which seems false.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.A piece can remain the same work despite minor notational deviations if the symbolic/artistic content remains recognizably identical.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Goodman's criterion makes notation metaphysically constitutive rather than epistemically useful, an unjustified ontological commitment.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
