♥♥♥♥♥
|
Another great book from the foremost thinker of post-tonal music.
|
| As Perle himself explains, these lectures (separated into chapters here) were originally addressed to varying audiences. Some are easily understandable by the layman; others require technical knowledge of music theory. Some are deeply stimulating, and others are just fun, but all are well-worth reading. I find "The Martian Musicologists" especially amusing. Here Perle excoriates the dubious "set theory" of Allen Forte. The title of this lecture derives from an equally severe (and deservedly so) critique of Allen Forte's "method" by the brilliant musicologist Richard Taruskin. |
