About the course
Notation is used in music to achieve a certain audible result and has enabled complex and sophisticated structures in the development of Western music. Analysis of scores of notation is thus a very powerful theoretical and methodological tool in the understanding of such music.
The course addresses methodologies and traditions of thought in music analysis, including the following:
- fixed and dynamic traditions of genre, form, and style traditions, and their terminologies and conceptual apparatus
- reductive and layer-based analytical models
- hermeneutic, semiotic and metaphorical analytical models
- questions concerning intentionality, work concept, critical evaluation and interpretation.
