Description

Explore a groundbreaking study in tonal music analysis with Tonality and Transformation from the Oxford Studies in Music Theory series. Published by Oxford University Press, this work by Steven Rings shifts the focus toward the listener's experience to explain how we perceive musical structures. By employing transformational music theory, Rings explains how sounding pitches acquire tonal qualities and how listeners experience sensations of attraction and directedness in music. This book provides a fresh way to understand tonal hearing through a lens of listener perception. Readers will find a variety of new analytical techniques designed for the study of the tonal repertory. The author applies these methods to a wide range of musical examples, providing detailed analysis on pieces spanning from the era of Bach to the works of Mahler. This text is an essential resource for students and scholars interested in the deep mechanics of classical music theory and the psychological aspects of musical perception.
