David Lewins Generalized Musical Intervals and Transformations is recognized as the seminal work paving the way for current studies in mathematical and systematic approaches to music analysis. Lewin; one of the 20th centurys most prominent figures in music theory; pushes the boundaries of the study of pitch-structure beyond its conception as a static system for classifying and inter-relating chords and sets. Known by most music theorists as "GMIT"; the book is by far the most significant contribution to the field of systematic music theory in the last half-century; generating the framework for the "transformational theory" movement. Appearing almost twenty years after GMITs initial publication; this Oxford University Press edition features a previously unpublished preface by David Lewin; as well as a foreword by Edward Gollin contextualizing the works significance for the current field of music theory.

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. To RenaBy DrozmanYears ago. you taught piano to my wife Jean and our daughter Elise. I especially remember the triplets as we also have a daughter Mara. Joel always had some pronouncement about Elise and Mara as that is your Elises middle name. The novel was a wonderful update on the road that you and Brian have traveled and the successes your family has achieved. Well done!Richard DrozdowskiSugarmill Woods.
