This paper attempts to stimulate discussion of unpredictable aspects of musical performance. Part 1 examines the epistemology and operation of unpredictability; Part 2 investigates one, musical event, a Karimojo? beer‐party, at three levels—overall performance, verbal structure, and musical sound—with the aim of discovering the unpredictable aspects of each. Part 3 considers the implications of unpredictability in relation to total performance and suggests that, for one music at least, the dialectical interplay between the unpredictable and the predictable provides much of its dynamic and significance
