This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: That mid-to-late nineteenth-century chromatic tonality challenges diatonic-based prolongational models of tonality is a well-known assertion. Recently, the field has embraced alternative frameworks, especially neo-Riemannian and transformational approaches, to account for coherence in the works of composers such as Richard Wagner or Richard Strauss. These approaches, however, only occasionally capture the extent to which this repertoire exhibits the prolongational procedures operative in classical tonality despite the unfamiliarity of the chromatic syntax. My dissertation investigates how this chromatic syntax can be approached as an extension of familiar diatonic models. My broader theoretic basis involves recognizing a proliferation of harmonic polysemy, whereby chords that have commonplace sonorities do not function in ways traditionally associated with that sonority. To account for this disjunction, I develop a model of Functional Interval Progressions (FIPs), which proposes dominant function is a product not of sonority, nor an isolated leading tone, but rather a combination of a univalent dissonance (a tritone or diminished seventh) combined with its conventional resolution: in short, I suggest function is a product of motion. I apply this principle in various ways. Firstly, I postulate the possibility of chromatically altered diminished-seventh chords: these chords often have the sonority of commonplace tonal chords, such as dominant or half-diminished sevenths, but their behaviour is more consistent with diminished-seventh chords. The presence and resolution of a diminished-seventh interval, I posit, overwrites the centrifugal nature of the chromatic alteration. I then export this principle to triads, arguing that a similar half-enharmonic reinterpretation can explain what Lorenz (1933) refers to as apparent consonances. Contrary to Cohn (2004/2012), I view these triads then as tonal dissonances, rather than as acoustic consonances. Lastly, I argue for a contextual remodeling of chordal inversion, following Schenker's (1922) notion of "the roothood-tendency of the lowest tone," suggesting that in certain cases inverted chords project the function of their bass, rather than their root. I conclude by applying these principles to larger-scale analysis, proposing that through a more thorough understanding of the surface-level harmonic syntax, deeper-level prolongations- and their relationships to one another-can be adduced with greater certainty and clarity in highly chromatic music.
Book Synopsis Chromatic Transformations in Nineteenth-Century Music by : David Kopp
Download or read book Chromatic Transformations in Nineteenth-Century Music written by David Kopp and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2006-12-21 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: David Kopp's book develops a model of chromatic chord relations in nineteenth-century music by composers such as Schubert, Beethoven, Chopin, Schumann, and Brahms. The emphasis is on explaining chromatic third relations and the pivotal role they play in theory and practice. Drawing on tenets of nineteenth-century harmonic theory, contemporary transformation theory, and the author's own approach, the book presents a clear and elegant means for characterizing commonly acknowledged but loosely defined elements of chromatic harmony. The historical and theoretical argument is supplemented by many analytic examples.

Download or read book Audacious Euphony written by Richard Cohn and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2012-01-01 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Music theorists have long believed that 19th-century triadic progressions idiomatically extend the diatonic syntax of 18th-century classical tonality, and have accordingly unified the two repertories under a single mode of representation. Post-structuralist musicologists have challenged this belief, advancing the view that many romantic triadic progressions exceed the reach of classical syntax and are mobilized as the result of a transgressive, anti-syntactic impulse. In Audacious Euphony, author Richard Cohn takes both of these views to task, arguing that romantic harmony operates under syntactic principles distinct from those that underlie classical tonality, but no less susceptible to systematic definition. Charting this alternative triadic syntax, Cohn reconceives what consonant triads are, and how they relate to one another. In doing so, he shows that major and minor triads have two distinct natures: one based on their acoustic properties, and the other on their ability to voice-lead smoothly to each other in the chromatic universe. Whereas their acoustic nature underlies the diatonic tonality of the classical tradition, their voice-leading properties are optimized by the pan-triadic progressions characteristic of the 19th century. Audacious Euphony develops a set of inter-related maps that organize intuitions about triadic proximity as seen through the lens of voice-leading proximity, using various geometries related to the 19th-century Tonnetz. This model leads to cogent analyses both of particular compositions and of historical trends across the long nineteenth century. Essential reading for music theorists, Audacious Euphony is also a valuable resource for music historians, performers and composers.

Book Synopsis Studies on the Origin of Harmonic Tonality by : Carl Dahlhaus
Download or read book Studies on the Origin of Harmonic Tonality written by Carl Dahlhaus and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2014-07-14 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Carl Dahlhaus was without doubt the premier musicologist of the postwar generation, a giant whose recent death was mourned the world over. Translated here for the first time, this fundamental work on the development of tonality shows his complete mastery of the theory of harmony. In it Dahlhaus explains the modern concepts of harmony and tonality, reviewing in the process the important theories of Rameau, Sechter, Ftis, Riemann, and Schenker. He contrasts the familiar premises of chordal composition with the lesser known precepts of intervallic composition, the basis for polyphonic music in the late Middle Ages and Renaissance. Numerous quotations from theoretical treatises document how early music was driven forward not by progressions of chords but by simple progressions of intervals. Exactly when did composers transform intervallic composition into chordal composition? Modality into tonality? Dahlhaus provides extensive analyses of motets by Josquin, frottole by Cara and Tromboncino, and madrigals by Monteverdi to demonstrate how, and to what degree, such questions can be answered. In his bold speculations, in his magisterial summaries, in his command of eight centuries of music and writings on music, and in his deep understanding of European history and culture, Carl Dahlhaus sets a standard that will seldom be equalled. Originally published in 1990. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.

Book Synopsis Chromatic Transformations in Nineteenth-Century Music by : David Kopp
Download or read book Chromatic Transformations in Nineteenth-Century Music written by David Kopp and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2002-10-31 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: David Kopp's book develops a model of chromatic chord relations in nineteenth-century music by composers such as Schubert, Beethoven, Chopin, Schumann and Brahms. The emphasis is on explaining chromatic third relations and the pivotal role they play in theory and practice. The book traces conceptions of harmonic system and of chromatic third relations from Rameau through nineteenth-century theorists such as Marx, Hauptmann and Riemann, to the seminal twentieth-century theorists Schenker and Schoenberg and on to the present day. Drawing on tenets of nineteenth-century harmonic theory, contemporary transformation theory and the author's own approach, the book presents a clear and elegant means for characterizing commonly acknowledged but loosely defined elements of chromatic harmony, and integrates them as fully fledged entities into a chromatically based conception of harmonic system. The historical and theoretical argument is supplemented by plentiful analytic examples.

Book Synopsis Hugo Riemann and the Birth of Modern Musical Thought by : Alexander Rehding
Download or read book Hugo Riemann and the Birth of Modern Musical Thought written by Alexander Rehding and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2003-05-01 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Generally acknowledged as the most important German musicologist of his age, Hugo Riemann (1849–1919) shaped the ideas of generations of music scholars, not least because his work coincided with the institutionalisation of academic musicology around the turn of the last century. This influence, however, belies the contentious idea at the heart of his musical thought, an idea he defended for most of his career - harmonic dualism. By situating Riemann's musical thought within turn-of-the-century discourses about the natural sciences, German nationhood and modern technology, this book reconstructs the cultural context in which Riemann's ideas not only 'made sense' but advanced an understanding of the tonal tradition as both natural and German. Riemann's musical thought - from his considerations of acoustical properties to his aesthetic and music-historical views - thus regains the coherence and cultural urgency that it once possessed.

Book Synopsis Desire in Chromatic Harmony by : Kenneth M. Smith
Download or read book Desire in Chromatic Harmony written by Kenneth M. Smith and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2020-04-15 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How does musical harmony engage listeners in relations of desire? Where does this desire come from? Author Kenneth Smith seeks to answer these questions by analyzing works from the turn of the twentieth- century that are both harmonically enriched and psychologically complex. Desire in Chromatic Harmony yields a new theory of how chromatic chord progressions direct the listener on intricate journeys through harmonic space, mirroring the tensions of the psyche found in Schopenhauer, Freud, Lacan, Lyotard, and Deleuze. Smith extends this mode of enquiry into sophisticated music theory, while exploring philosophically engaged European and American composers such as Richard Strauss, Alexander Skryabin, Josef Suk, Charles Ives, and Aaron Copland. Focusing on harmony and chord progression, the book drills down into the diatonic undercurrent beneath densely chromatic and dissonant surfaces. From the obsession with death and mourning in Suk's asrael Symphony to an exploration of "perversion" in Strauss's elektra; from the Sufi mysticism of Szymanowski's Song of the Night to the failed fantasy of the American dream in Copland's The Tender Land, Desire in Chromatic Harmony cuts a path through the dense forests of chromatic complexity, revealing the psychological make-up of post-Wagnerian psychodynamic music.
Book Synopsis Music and Twentieth-century Tonality by : Paolo Susanni
Download or read book Music and Twentieth-century Tonality written by Paolo Susanni and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the web of pitch relations that generates the musical language of non-serialized twelve-tone music and supplies both the analytical materials and methods necessary for analyses of a vast proportion of the 20th century musical repertoire. It does so in a simple, clear, and systematic manner to promote an easily accessible and global understanding of this music. Since the chromatic scale is the primary source for the pitch materials of 20th-century music, common sub-collections of the various modes and interval cycles serve as the basis for their mutual transformation. It is precisely this peculiarity of the non-serialized twelve-tone system that allows for an array of pitch relations and modal techniques hitherto perceived difficult if not impossible to analyze. Susanni and Antokoletz present the principles, concepts, and materials employed for analysis using a unique theoretic-analytical approach to the new musical language. The book contains a large number of original analyses that explore a host of composers including Ives, Stravinsky, Bartók, Messiaen, Cage, Debussy, Copland, and many more, providing insight into the music of the tonal revolution of the twentieth century and contributing an important perspective to how music works in general.
Book Synopsis Elements of Sonata Theory by : James Arnold Hepokoski
Download or read book Elements of Sonata Theory written by James Arnold Hepokoski and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2011 with total page 1172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Elements of Sonata Theory is a comprehensive, richly detailed rethinking of the basic principles of sonata form in the decades around 1800. This foundational study draws upon the joint strengths of current music history and music theory to outline a new, up-to-date paradigm for understanding the compositional choices found in the instrumental works of Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, and their contemporaries: sonatas, chamber music, symphonies, overtures, and concertos. In so doing, it also lays out the indispensable groundwork for anyone wishing to confront the later adaptations and deformations of these basic structures in the nineteenth and earlier twentieth centuries. Combining insightful music analysis, contemporary genre theory, and provocative hermeneutic turns, the book brims over with original ideas, bold and fresh ways of awakening the potential meanings within a familiar musical repertory. Sonata Theory grasps individual compositions-and each of the individual moments within them-as creative dialogues with an implicit conceptual background of flexible, ever-changing historical norms and patterns. These norms may be recreated as constellations "compositional defaults," any of which, however, may be stretched, strained, or overridden altogether for individualized structural or expressive purposes. This book maps out the terrain of that conceptual background, against which what actually happens-or does not happen-in any given piece may be assessed and measured. The Elements guides the reader through the standard (and less-than-standard) formatting possibilities within each compositional space in sonata form, while also emphasizing the fundamental role played by processes of large-scale circularity, or "rotation," in the crucially important ordering of musical modules over an entire movement. The book also illuminates new ways of understanding codas and introductions, of confronting the generating processes of minor-mode sonatas, and of grasping the arcs of multimovement cycles as wholes. Its final chapters provide individual studies of alternative sonata types, including "binary" sonata structures, sonata-rondos, and the "first-movement form" of Mozart's concertos.
