Musical Referentiality is a theoretical construct in musicology that denotes the capacity of a musical work or element to signify extra-musical entities, contexts, or meanings through deliberate allusion, quotation, or stylistic association, thereby distinguishing it from autonomous or purely formalist interpretations of musical structure.
