Abstract
This paper is devoted to face recent views in the ontology of music that
reject that musical works are repeatable in musical performances. It will
be observed that musical works’ repeatability implies that they are audible
and variable in their performances. To this extent, the aim here is to show
that repeatability, audibility and variability are ontologically substantive
features of musical works’ nature. The thesis that will be defended is
that repeatability, audibility and variability are dispositional non-aesthetic
properties of musical works. The plausibility of the dispositional account
of musical works’ repeatability, audibility and variability will lead us to
the conclusion that they are ontologically substantive features of musical
works’ nature, and consequently, any suitable explanation of the ontology
of musical works must not ignore them.
