Four principles of bio-musicology, W. Tecumseh Fitch 2015<br>
This paper is a prospectus for biomusical research. Main points: <br>
i) musical is complex (yes!)<br>
ii) questions must be asked from a Tinbergean perspective (i.e. mechanism, ontogeny, phylogeny and function),<br>
iii) comparative between animals (not relevant for us), and <br>
iiii) "ecologically motivated," i.e. not just Western skilled musicians.<br>
