This book introduces a theory of music analysis that one can use to explore aspects of segmentation and associative organization in a wide range of repertoire including Western classical music from the Baroque to the present, with potential applications to jazz and popular music, and some nonWestern musics. Rather than a methodology, the theory provides analysts with precise language and a broad, flexible conceptual framework through which they can formulate and investigate questions of interest and develop their own interpretations of individual pieces and passages. The theory begins with a basic distinction among three domains of musical experience and discourse about it: the sonic (psychoacoustic); the contextual (or associative, sparked by varying degrees of repetition); and the structural (guided by a specific theory of musical structure or syntax invoked by the analyst). A comprehensive presentation of the theory, with copious musical illustrations, is balanced with close analyses of works by Beethoven, Debussy, Nancarrow, Riley, Feldman, and Morris. Dora A. Hanninen is professor of music theory at the University of Maryland. She received the 2010 Outstanding Publication Award from the Society for Music Theory.Table of ContentsA Theory of Music AnalysisOrientations, Criteria, SegmentsAssociative Sets and Associative OrganizationBeethoven, Piano Sonata No. 2 in A Major, Op. 2, No. 2, IDebussy, 'Harmonie du soir,' Cinq pomes de Baudelaire, No. 2Nancarrow, Study No. 37: Calibrated Canons, Changeable LandscapesRiley, In C: Configurations and Landscape Studies of Select PlotsFeldman, Palais de Mari: Pattern and Design in a Changing LandscapeMorris, Nine Piano Pieces: Between Moment and MemoryReflectionson and among the NineFurther Considerations and Extended ApplicationsNotesGlossaryBibliographyIndex
