The editorial board encourages authors to submit contributions for the upcoming issues  (2016, no 1 and 2), for both parts of the journal.

"Ricercari" are free papers on basic topics of music studies.
Therefore, the editorial board invites authors to submit essays on any aspect of musicological and comparative research.
 
"Variazioni" are papers on a given topic.

The theme for the Variazioni in both 2016 issues is: From sign to sound and vice versa, across the centuries.

Possible but not exclusive topics could be:

- How did the relationship between sign and sound develop and take shape in different cultures and ages?
- How does the study of musical signs influence our understanding of music, past and present?
- Which is the relationship, if there is any, between musical notation and improvised music, or between notation and ornamentation?
- How can musicology analyse music that is not transmitted through written signs?
- How can we confront with new methods of transmitting music?
- Which is the relationship between new technologies and traditional musical notation?
- How do new systems of transmitting music influence the way in which we interact with, perceive, memorize and conceptualize music?

Deadlines for all types of contributions (Ricercari and Variazioni), written according to the Author guidelines published on the website and provided with an abstract of 600 characters:

January 31, 2016 for the 1st issue; June 15, 2016 for the 2nd one.
