Evolving Metric Conflict in Liszt: A Generalized Intervallic Perspective

نویسنده

چکیده

In recent years, Franz Liszt has garnered increasing interest among music theorists for his innovations in harmony and form. However, little attention has been given to rhythmic aspects of his compositional style: in particular, he frequently incorporates rich rhythmic structures in which the meter written in the score and the meter perceived by the listener are locked in an evolving conflict. While Harald Krebs (1999) has treated conflict between metrical layers in Robert Schumann's music, his approach is primarily static, using the metrically consonant or dissonant states themselves as his basic analytical units. David Lewin's GIS concept, however, provides a dynamic alternative, for Lewin's focus is not on objects in a musical space, but on the intervals and changes between these objects. Thus, building upon Lewin's work, I shall introduce a new direct product GIS, GIS W,P,B , that describes metric conflict intervallically through three component GISes: GIS W , which measures the passage of written bars; GIS P , which measures the passage of perceived bars as defined by musical cues; and GIS B , which tracks the shifting perceived downbeat within the written bar. I shall then introduce the concepts of intervallic expansion and contraction, which allow GIS W,P,B intervals to be manifested at multiple metric hierarchical levels. These concepts shall then form the basis for an analysis of the opening section of Liszt's Wilde Jagd in which I shall highlight the emergence of the interval (5/6,i1,i-1) as a characteristic interval for the piece.

FIXED POINT THEOREM OF KANNAN-TYPE MAPPINGS IN GENERALIZED FUZZY METRIC SPACES

Binayak et al in [1] proved a fixed point of generalized Kannan type-mappings in generalized Menger spaces. In this paper we extend gen- eralized Kannan-type mappings in generalized fuzzy metric spaces. Then we prove a fixed point theorem of this kind of mapping in generalized fuzzy metric spaces. Finally we present an example of our main result.

Generalized $F$-contractions in Partially Ordered Metric Spaces

We discuss about the generalized $F$-contraction mappings in partially ordered metric spaces. For this, we first introduce the notion of ordered weakly $F$-contraction mapping. We also present some fixed point results about this type of mapping in partially ordered metric spaces. Next, we introduce the notion of $acute{mathrm{C}}$iri$acute{mathrm{c}}$ type generalized ordered weakly $F$-contrac...

Fixed point theorems on generalized $c$-distance in ordered cone $b$-metric spaces

In this paper, we introduce a concept of a generalized $c$-distance in ordered cone $b$-metric spaces and, by using the concept, we prove some fixed point theorems in ordered cone $b$-metric spaces. Our results generalize the corresponding results obtained by Y. J. Cho, R. Saadati, Shenghua Wang (Y. J. Cho, R. Saadati, Shenghua Wang, Common fixed point  heorems on generalized distance in ordere...

Fixed point theory in generalized orthogonal metric space

In this paper, among the other things, we prove the existence and uniqueness theorem of fixed point for mappings on a generalized orthogonal metric space. As a consequence of this, we obtain the existence and uniqueness of fixed point of Cauchy problem for the first order differential equation.
