	Systematic musicology - Facts, Information, and Encyclopedia Reference article (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		In 1955, the American Musicological Society described it as ‘a field ofknowledge having as its object the investigation of the art of music as a physical, psychological, aesthetic, and cultural phenomenon.’ The attributes used here give the definition of musicology considerable breadth, although ‘music as an “art”remains the focus of attention’.
		However, in the last two decades an important shift has occurred, that is,from music as an art (or art object) to music as a process in which the performer, the listener,and music as sound play a central role.
		This transformation is most notable in the field of systematic musicology (a term introduced by Adler), which developed from ‘a mere extension of musicology’ into a ‘complete reorientation of the discipline to fundamental questions which are nonhistorical in nature, [encompassing] research into the nature and properties ofmusic as an acoustical, psychological and cognitive phenomenon’.

	Music
		There is the study of sound and vibration or acoustics, the cognitive study of music, the study of music theory and performance practice or music theory and ethnomusicology and the study of the reception and history of music, generally called musicology.
		The earliest definitions of musicology defined three sub-disciplines: systematic musicology, historical musicology, and comparative musicology.
		In academic circles, the original term for the study of world music, "comparative musicology", was replaced in the middle of the twentieth century by "ethnomusicology", which is still an unsatisfactory definition.

	New Perspectives in Ethnomusicology: A Critical Survey (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Some scholars nevertheless continue to cite Guido Adler's century-old division of musicology, systematic musicology, and ethnomusicology, as if concepts that pertained to a Eurocentric view of music in the 1880s were valid for the 21st century.
		Recently, for instance, one distinguished scholar claimed that ethnomusicology has been a part of musicology "ever since [Adler], in encyclopedia definitions and in actual academic practice", and that it is at the same time "a sub-discipline of anthropology" (Nettl 1992: 375), that is, a subsidiary of both musicology and anthropology.
		The "comparative musicology" developed by European scholars in the late 19th and early 20th century, with its evolutionistic assumptions, was anathema to a younger generation of North American scholars fuelled by idealistic enthusiasm for the "pure", "the aboriginal", and the "native".

		Those that seek a platonic or quasi-platonic ideal of Music which is not rooted in specifically physical or mental terms, but in a higher truth.
		The definition of Music as sound with particular characteristics is taken as a given by psychoacoustics, and is a common one in musicology and performance.
		Music history itself is the (distinct) subfield of musicology and history, which studies the history of music theory.
