Download or read book The Rhythms of Tonal Music written by Joel Lester and published by Pendragon Press. This book was released on 1986 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The primary focus of this book is accent which Lester argues is one of the major aspects of rhythm. The central question is not whether a note or event (rest point in time) is accented but how it is accented.

Book Advanced Schenkerian Analysis

Download or read book Advanced Schenkerian Analysis written by David Beach and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-06-19 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advanced Schenkerian Analysis: Perspectives on Phrase Rhythm, Motive, and Form is a textbook for students with some background in Schenkerian theory. It begins with an overview of Schenker's theories, then progresses systematically from the phrase and their various combinations to longer and more complex works. Unlike other texts on this subject, Advanced Schenkerian Analysis combines the study of multi-level pitch organization with that of phrase rhythm (the interaction of phrase and hypermeter), motivic repetition at different structural levels, and form. It also contains analytic graphs of several extended movements, separate works, and songs. A separate Instructor’s Manual provides additional advice and solutions (graphs) of all recommended assignments.

Book Organized Time

  • Author : Jason Yust
  • Publisher : Oxford University Press
  • Release : 2018-05-15
  • ISBN : 0190696494
  • Pages : 464 pages

Download or read book Organized Time written by Jason Yust and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-05-15 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Organized Time is the first attempt to unite theories of harmony, rhythm and meter, and form under a common idea of structured time. Building off of recent advances in music theory in essential subfields-rhythmic theory, tonal structure, and the theory of musical form--author Jason Yust demonstrates that tonal music exhibits similar hierarchical organization in each of these dimensions. Yust develops a network model for temporal structure with an application of mathematical graph theory, which leads ultimately to musical applications of a multi-dimensional polytope called the associahedron. A wealth of analytical examples includes not only the familiar tonal canon-J.S. Bach, Mozart, Schumann--but also lesser known masters of the musical Enlightenment such as C.P.E. and J.C. Bach, Boccherini, and Johann Gottlieb Graun. Yust's approach has wide-ranging ramifications across music theory, enabling new approaches to musical closure, hypermeter, formal function, syncopation, and rhythmic dissonance, as well as historical observations about the development of sonata form and the innovations of Haydn and Beethoven. Making a forceful argument for the independence of musical modalities and for a multivalent approach to music analysis, Organized Time establishes the aesthetic importance of structural disjunction, the conflict of structure in different modalities, in numerous analytical contexts.

Book A Generative Theory of Tonal Music  reissue  with a new preface

Download or read book A Generative Theory of Tonal Music reissue with a new preface written by Fred Lerdahl and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 1996-06-03 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A search for a grammar of music with the aid of generative linguistics. This work, which has become a classic in music theory since its original publication in 1983, models music understanding from the perspective of cognitive science.The point of departure is a search for the grammar of music with the aid of generative linguistics.The theory, which is illustrated with numerous examples from Western classical music, relates the aural surface of a piece to the musical structure unconsciously inferred by the experienced listener. From the viewpoint of traditional music theory, it offers many innovations in notation as well as in the substance of rhythmic and reductional theory.

Book Tonal Music

    Book Details:
  • Author : Franz Sauter
  • Publisher : BoD – Books on Demand
  • Release : 2020-01-23
  • ISBN : 375043459X
  • Pages : 146 pages

Download or read book Tonal Music written by Franz Sauter and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2020-01-23 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about the aesthetics of the tonal music. It therefore deals with sound forms such as consonance, dissonance, tonality, bar, counterpoint or motif. Thereby, it shows that all harmonic, rhythmic, and melodic sound figures are essentially relations in which similar sound components go well together. The whole secret of the musical aesthetics lies in this abstract determination. In this sense, the musical sound forms are systematically built on each other and form an ensemble of eight aesthetic principles, to each of which a chapter of this book is dedicated. The logical progression of these chapters reveals the inner connection between harmony, rhythm, and melody. Musical phenomena that have so far been interpreted differently and controversially are explained and derived in a comprehensible way in this context. The theoretical results of this book are, at the same time, a critique of previously common dogmas in musicology. For example, the prejudice that the difference between consonance and dissonance cannot be objectively grasped clearly contradicts the results of a rational music theory. Nor will the reader find the usual talk about the supposed anachronism or the transience of the tonal music in this book - for good reasons.
