In this article I address the issue of control and intentionality in purely musical performances or in musical performances involving other artistic languages and new technologies. I begin with preliminary considerations on the subject relating it to the contexts in which performance is based on the interpretation of written works (musical scores) and the contexts in which it occurs through improvisation where the concept of work of art is not so relevant. Then I relate the same themes to the environments of idiomatic improvisation and free improvisation practices. With regard to this aspect, I discuss the issue of collective and individual memories that condition performance environments, relating it to the concepts of basic knowledge and referent. Subsequently, I define the notion of a complex environment of performance as one in which several heterogeneous components (including digital components) interact. I conclude the text by discussing these topics through examples of complex performance environments.References
