      ab: The main focus of the text is a review of Frederick Reece’s book *Forgery in Musical Composition: Aesthetics, History, and the Canon*, which examines four notable cases of musical forgery over the past two centuries. Reece explores how these forgeries reveal underlying aesthetic values, power dynamics, and the constructed nature of authenticity in music, highlighting the shifting roles of composers, performers, and audiences in shaping musical canons. The book also discusses how forgeries illuminate historical narratives and listening habits, encouraging readers to critically reflect on their own biases regarding authenticity. This work is positioned as essential reading for musicians, critics, and scholars interested in the intersections of music history, aesthetics, and cultural evaluation.
