| Abstract | This book traces the emergence, consolidation, and decline of several different theoretical systems, or "representations." He explores the construction, use, and transformation of various concepts to explain harmony and harmonic progressions from the Renaissance to the Romantic period--an unusually broad scope for a single music theory book. As part of his analysis, the author investigates the meaning and role of the listener, or "musical subject," within these representations. |
