In clarifying R.G. Collingwood’s theory of art in the article, Collingwood’s Aesthetics, Gary Kemp writes: “A tune, for example, needn’t be sung, played or written down in order to exist.” One issue this statement raises about the nature of song (and art) is whether a song can reasonably be said to exist prior to being presented in some written or performed form. Your assignment is to use this issue to clarify what Collingwood believes most makes song (and art) what it is.
