The encyclopaedia Musik und Gender says:

"Musicological gender research in the sense of gender studies enquires into the constantly re-manifesting, performative construction of gender [...] within a musical culture." And: "In relation to music and music-cultural activity, the gender perspective also enables a fundamental historiographical reflection and revision of seemingly self-evident images and interpretations of music history for music historiography."(Kreutziger-Herr/Unseld 2010, p. 234f.).

Musicological gender research can thus show the extent to which culturally constructed gender is effective as a pattern of interpretation in music aesthetics, analysis and historiography and how this pattern of interpretation influences music-cultural behaviour in the past and present.
