[microsound] musical structure

[Andrew Salch]

By "structure" do you mean something that inheres in the work and is 
immediately detectable in it, e.g. compositional structure, or do you also 
include the entire means of production of the work--"structures" of 
production which can nevertheless fail to be detectable in the finished 
recorded work or in the performed piece as experienced by its audience? 
For example, the actual physical location at which a field recording was 
taken may not be recognizable or recoverable from the recording; is that 
particular physical location part of the "structure" used in creating the 
work?

Sorry for the nitpicking--but I think this question of the types of 
structures in music is an interesting one.
