      abstract = {Music is a special art form and a special object for  copyright protection. In contrast to other, more static,  forms of art, such as most of the visual arts, music is  fashioned time and therefore constitutes change and  movement; it also exists only in its performance. This  article shows how copyright constructs a normative device,  the ‘musical work’, to be able to protect this fleeting  and transient art form. The article also discusses how  music is analysed to ascertain which of its elements obtain  copyright protection against infringement, and whether a  ‘hearing test’ is an adequate method for establishing  infringement.},
