Tonal Structures Tonal Reduction and Interpretation

چکیده
Using the theme from Beethoven’s Piano Sonata Op. 26 as an example, the relationship between tonal reduction and interpretation is critically discussed. Strictly Schenkerian as well as less constrained approaches to reduction are considered in order to learn about the cognitive nature of the reductive representations that musicians are likely to entertain and profit from and about how such schemes may influence performance.

Numerical study on the acoustic field of a centrifugal fan and the tonal noise sources
The widespread use of squirrel cage fans, especially in ventilation and home and industrial environments, has led to the formation of many research efforts to improve performance and reduce the sound produced by this type of fan. In the literature, the most important factor in generating sound in this category of fans is the confrontation between the rotor exit flow and the volute of the fan. I...
متن کاملStrategies for tonal and atonal musical interpretation in blind and normally sighted children: an fMRI study
INTRODUCTION Early childhood is known to be a period when cortical plasticity phenomena are at a maximum. Music is a stimulus known to modulate these mechanisms. On the other hand, neurological impairments like blindness are also known to affect cortical plasticity. Here, we address how tonal and atonal musical stimuli are processed in control and blind young children. We aimed to understand th...

The most obvious interpretation of Paster’s results is that tonally conditioned PCSA is in fact extremely rare. Before accepting this interpretation, however, it is important to consider the possibility that a significant class of examples was systematically neglected, though not for want of a large and balanced survey. Since Paster’s stated focus was on affixal morphology, it may have been tha...
متن کاملNeuroarchitecture of verbal and tonal working memory in nonmusicians and musicians.
Working memory (WM) for auditory information has been thought of as a unitary system, but whether WM for verbal and tonal information relies on the same or different functional neuroarchitectures has remained unknown. This fMRI study examines verbal and tonal WM in both nonmusicians (who are trained in speech, but not in music) and highly trained musicians (who are trained in both domains). The...
متن کاملMetrical Structure and Tone Sandhi: Evidence from Ei Tonal Reduction
This study examines the interaction of metrical structure and tone sandhi in Ei (an endangered language spoken in Rongshui, Guangxi Province, China), focusing on tonal reduction conditioned by a foot-like prosodic structure. Our analysis shows that within a disyllabic domain, Ei tone sandhi, mainly in the form of tonal reduction, applies only to the first syllable and the second syllable remain...
