Three StarsBy The criticsok21 of 28 people found the following review helpful. very interesting; very technicalBy Mikhail LewisThis very technical work is very interesting and uses a very valuable and relatively new approach. However it is very conservative musically; to the point of losing subjectivity. I would recommend James Tenneys writings instead. META + HODOS: A Phenomenology of 20th-Century Musical Materials and an Approach to the Study of Form (1961; Frog Peak; 1988); is available through ; or Hierarchical temporal gestalt perception in music : a metric space model with Larry Polansky; also printed in Soundings Vol. 13: The Music of James Tenney. Garland; Peter (Ed.) (Soundings Press; 1984) which has articles by and about Tenney; who takes a much more progressive and broad view than Lerdahl.34 of 41 people found the following review helpful. This book is a turning point in XXth century music theory...By pclima@ufba.brThis book is a turning point in XXth century music theory.It admits "surface salience" as an important musical attribute (chapter 5); distinguishing it from the "reductional importance" of events. Should we work with a double conception of structure: surface structure (focusing on surface salience) versus deep struture (focusing on reductional importance)? The investigation of surface salience leads to questions related to tension and release; an area that is still to find its best approach. What is best in the book: the ability to uncover the making of a theory; the ability to rejuvenate and integrate schenkerian ideas with a critique of Meyers approach (rhythmic structure versus metrical structure); the linguistic/cognitive connection. What is not so good in the book: the remarks on contemporary music (with an almost fascist view of inherited abilities)
