advance the understanding of Schubert's tonal language and comment upon current topics …

Special collections: renewing set theory

J Yust - Journal of Music Theory, 2016 - read.dukeupress.edu
The discrete Fourier transform on pitch-class sets, proposed by David Lewin and advanced
by Ian Quinn, may provide a new lease on life for Allen Forte's idea of a general theory of …

Ravel's Octatonic Scripts

D Blättler - Music Theory Spectrum, 2022 - academic.oup.com
This article investigates the use of octatonic chord progressions at deeper structural levels in
the music of Maurice Ravel. Octatonic chord progressions are successions of triads and …

Distorted continuity: chromatic harmony, uniform sequences, and quantized voice leadings

J Yust - Music Theory Spectrum, 2015 - academic.oup.com
This article introduces uniform patterns, voice-leading patterns that are purely regular when
represented with generic intervals. Generic intervals are continuous-valued intervals that are …

[HTML][HTML] Chord Proximity, Parsimony, and Analysis with Filtered Point-Symmetry

R Plotkin - Music Theory Online, 2019 - mtosmt.org
Filtered Point-Symmetry (FiPS) is a tool for modeling relationships between iterated
maximally even sets. Common musical relationships can be studied by using FiPS to model …

Scalar context in musical models

R Plotkin, J Douthett - Journal of Mathematics and Music, 2013 - Taylor & Francis
In this paper, we examine relationships between signature transformations, Filtered Point-
Symmetry (FiPS), and voice-leading spaces, with a strong emphasis on the role of scalar …

Dancing with the scales: subchromatic generated tone systems

M Žabka - Journal of Music Theory, 2014 - read.dukeupress.edu
This article introduces basics of a theory of generated tone systems. It is built on an explicit
conceptualization of the notion of comma and yields illuminative insights into diverse areas …

Partitions, their classes, and multicolour evenness

J Douthett, P Steinbach, R Peck… - Journal of Mathematics …, 2022 - Taylor & Francis
We extend the theory of maximally even sets to determine the evenness of partitions of the
chromatic universe U c. Interactions measure the average evenness of colour sets …

A space for inflections: following up on JMM's special issue on mathematical theories of voice leading

J Yust - Journal of Mathematics and Music, 2013 - Taylor & Francis
Journal of Mathematics and Music's recent special issue 7 (2) reveals substantial common
ground between mathematical theories of harmony advanced by Tymoczko, Hook, Plotkin …

Hexatonic systems and dual groups in mathematical music theory

C Berry, TM Fiore - Involve, a Journal of Mathematics, 2017 - msp.org
Motivated by the music-theoretical work of Richard Cohn and David Clampitt on late-
nineteenth century harmony, we mathematically prove that the PL-group of a hexatonic cycle …
