Abstract: This paper explores how a performer generates a cognitive infrastructure in support of a performance, and advocates for regarding such cognitive processes as a kind of agency. This notion of “facilitative agency,” which draws on Edwin Gordon’s work on audiation as well as David Lewin’s p-model in his “Music Theory, Phenomenology, and Modes of Perception,” is illustrated in an analysis of the opening theme from Beethoven’s Piano Sonata in G major, op. 14, no. 2, second movement. The paper closes by considering the implications of the above for the training of student musicians.
