Julian Dodd has recently objected to musical perdurantism—the view that a musical work is a fusion of performances—on the grounds that it entails that one cannot hear all of a musical work and that a musical work can have temporal parts that belong to different ontological categories. We defend musical perdurantism from both objections.
