Edward Cone's well-known reading of Schubert's Moment musical in A♭ (Op. 94 No. 6) posits the inability of E♮ to be fully assimilated, expressing ‘the occurrence of a disquieting thought to one of a tranquil, easy-going nature’. This article extends these models, interpreting the tonal problems F♮ and C♮ in Brahms's song Unbewegte laue Luft, Op. 57 No. 8, as realising present and future temporalities that remain latent in Georg Friedrich Daumer's poem. \u0000 \u0000Brahms's E major song seems to model the poem's temporal progression from present to future, invoking F♮ to signify the protagonist's suppressed desire in the present and later respelling the pitch as E♯ to suggest emergent desire and its imagined future. Whereas Daumer's poem only contrasts the images of nature's external calm with the protagonist's internal passion, the tonal consequences of F and C in Brahms's setting also draw these images together, suggesting that they are intertwined in the protagonist's perceptions. His initially subconscious desires influence his experience of nature.","PeriodicalId":44048,"journal":{"name":"MUSIC ANALYSIS","volume":"36 1","pages":"350-371"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2017-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1111/MUSA.12100","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46403550","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Wu","doi":"10.1111/MUSA.12090","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1111/MUSA.12090","url":null,"abstract":"In tonal music, the way in which pitches are spelled reflects their meaning in various contextual and textural settings such as harmony, melody and voice leading. At the turn of the twentieth century, many composers attempted to progress beyond the confines of traditional tonality; and their works, as generally perceived by most analysts nowadays, treated the twelve chromatic pitches as twelve enharmonically equivalent pitch classes. No matter what musical context is encountered, we perceive F♯ and G♭ syntactically and structurally as the same pitch class, paying little attention to the composer's choice of notation. The present article brings the significance of pitch notation into sharper focus by investigating its crucial role in the structure and form of Scriabin's Prelude Op. 67 No. 1 (1912–13). I will demonstrate how Scriabin utilises orthography to create a concealed musical climax that reinforces the narrative design of the form, helping the analyst to regard notation as a core element when examining the pitch structure in music after 1900.","PeriodicalId":44048,"journal":{"name":"MUSIC ANALYSIS","volume":"36 1","pages":"419-450"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2017-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1111/MUSA.12090","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44924445","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Yunek","doi":"10.1111/MUSA.12095","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1111/MUSA.12095","url":null,"abstract":"One of the leading theories of Scriabin's late music is that his collections are chords that are related through invariant transposition. Whereas this theory is effective in relating symmetrical collections such as the octatonic, it cannot relate asymmetrical collections such as Scriabin's mystic chord. In order to overcome this issue, I explore Scriabin's own understanding of his harmonic language and interpret it through his personal statements, philosophical beliefs and theoretical training. I reveal that Scriabin thought of his collections not as chords, but as closely related keys (tonalnosti). Although close key relationships are tonal in nature, this relationship can be transferred to post-tonal music when defined as a maximally invariant transposition. Accordingly, this operation accounts for transpositional relationships between symmetrical and asymmetrical collections in Scriabin's late music, suggesting that his late harmonic language equates to a rapid succession of closely related keys. This theory is applied to excerpts spanning the late period, from Op. 58 to Op. 74, with extended applications to Op. 63 No. 2 and Op. 73 No. 2.","PeriodicalId":44048,"journal":{"name":"MUSIC ANALYSIS","volume":"36 1","pages":"384-418"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2017-08-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1111/MUSA.12095","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47749024","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Analysts of German Lieder (and art song in general) have emphasised the diverse ways in which music expresses the meaning of poetry, but they have remained largely indifferent to how music captures, and often enhances, poetry's materiality – its patterns of consonants and vowels, its intonational shapes, its ‘music’. Drawing in part upon literary scholarship on the sonic aspects of poetry (by Robert Pinsky, M. H. Abrams and others), this article explores how the sound worlds of poetry and music interact. I begin by evaluating three common approaches to the analysis of art song, each of which neglects poetic sound to some degree. I then propose an alternative approach, one designed to ensure that the music of poetry is given its due. Finally, I apply this method to a detailed analysis of ‘Wenn ich in deine Augen seh’’, from Dichterliebe, and to another setting by Schumann, ‘Melancholie’, from the Spanisches Liederspiel.","PeriodicalId":44048,"journal":{"name":"MUSIC ANALYSIS","volume":"36 1","pages":"315-349"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2017-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1111/MUSA.12091","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44552093","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
