Abstract: The paper focuses on the controversy term of “performance”. There was given a range of definitions of the term at different levels of commonness and specificity: performance as a kind of activity; performance as a part of creation; performance as a kind of intonation, including the real moment of sound formation; performance as a kind of existence of form-process in the time and the spacetime arts. The author of the paper uses and justifies the notions of “complete” and “incomplete” acts of intonation. The conclusion is that the structure of the complete act of intonation is an invariant structure of every music performance in general
