The book adopts a visual orientation, introducing from the outset a number of simple geometric models-the first examples of the musical spaces of the book's title-depicting relationships among musical entities of various kinds such as notes, chords, scales, or rhythmic values. These spaces take many forms and become a unifying thread in initiating readers into several areas of active recent scholarship, including transformation theory, neo-Riemannian theory, geometric music theory, diatonic theory, and scale theory. Concepts and techniques from mathematical set theory, graph theory, group theory, geometry, and topology are introduced as needed to address musical questions. Musical examples ranging from Bach to the late twentieth century keep the underlying musical motivations close at hand. The book includes hundreds of figures to aid in visualizing the structure of the spaces, as well as exercises offering readers hands-on practice with a diverse assortment of concepts and techniques.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 256mmItem Length: 187mmItem Width: 37mmItem Weight: 1406gAuthor: Julian HookGenre: Music Dance & TheatreBook Series: Oxford Studies in Music TheoryRelease Year: 2022 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
