Belfi and Jakubowski define music-evoked autobiographical memory as a distinct interdisciplinary problem connecting memory, emotion, identity and ageing. Their editorial synthesis establishes that music can evoke vivid, emotionally intense and personally meaningful memories across experimental and everyday contexts, healthy and clinical populations, and quantitative, qualitative and theoretical methodologies. Rather than treating musical memory as simple recognition, they foreground the autobiographical event: a cue retrieves episodes embedded in a life history. The text maps four major axes—youth, ageing and reminiscence bumps; special populations; identity, relationships and emotions; and musical qualities—while positioning music against other sensory cues. Its conceptual operation is therefore field-forming: it shifts inquiry from whether music triggers memory to what kinds of memories emerge, for whom, under which conditions and with what phenomenological qualities. The broader bridge is toward autobiographical-memory research in which sensory media become active retrieval infrastructures connecting perception, self-continuity and temporally distributed experience.
