ResumoAbstractThis discussion paper aims at critically discussing some of the issues covered in the papers collected in the present special issue. It deals with four major points: the main differences between everyday interaction and interaction in musical settings, and the implications for music, seen as a locus for social semiosis; the “sharing” function of music, particularly with regards to its intersubjective nature; the relevance of multimodality in musical interaction; and the way music may achieve authority construction and negotiation. Finally, the paper highlights the most promising pathways for future research traced by the special issue.Keywords: sharingauthority constructionintersubjectivitymultimodality Notes on contributorDaniele Barbieri holds a Ph.D. in Semiotics. His research has covered different fields, unified by the common perspective of a semiotic approach and a specific interest on the theme of construction of rhythm and effects of tension. He has worked on visual communication (especially in graphic design and comics), poetry and music, as well as on various theoretical issues in Semiotics. He has taught at the University of Bologna, University “La Sapienza” of Rome, Politecnico di Milano, University of Urbino, SUPSI in Lugano, Accademia Albertina di Belle Arti in Turin, and Accademia di Belle Arti in Bologna. He currently teaches Semiotics of design at I.S.I.A. (Istituto Superiore per le Industrie Artistiche) in Urbino. He has published 12 authored and edited books and almost 400 papers.Notes1. It must also be noted that, in some fields of research, such as linguistics, the notion of communication as an inherently multimodal activity is a quite recent acquisition, often not yet entirely accepted. In this sense, studies like the ones presented here may help building a sounder ground for a better understanding of human interaction.2. “Guys” is a vocative. Without it, the conductor's words would remain equally understandable. Its presence focalizes the presence of the repetition of the word “I” (“I must say I hear”), stressing their opposition.
