It has a learning curve I didnt know existed; but for me as a professional composer; this is a mind an ear opener. Its worth it ten fold!0 of 1 people found the following review helpful. The math was in-depth and could technically be applied to ...By Adam LuhringThe math was in-depth and could technically be applied to intervals; however; the concepts didnt really provide any insight/worthwhile vocabulary for talking about music in the way various people talking about the book had made it sound they would. One example: The book boasted that its interval systems could even be applied to timbre. I had never really heard of timbre being studied theoretically (outside of a basic "this is what a spectrograph for this instrument is like" sense) and was intrigued. When I got to that section; though; it basically said you could alter timbres mathematically by; for instance; multiplying the strength of each harmonic by a particular value. Thats true; but its clearly not how timbre functions when we listen to music and doesnt give any intuition about how to build a system that does.21 of 28 people found the following review helpful. One of the most important treatises on music since RameauBy Spencer TopelI have studied this book; and continue to study it. This text has been a wealth of information for my own compositional work as well as my understanding of integrated serial technique. Milton Babbitt considers David Lewin a genius and Generalized Musical Intervals and Transformations is proof of his statement. In addition to this comment he made recently after Mr. Lewin passed away; he mentioned that a fair portion of his writing remains unpublished. It is my hope that a wise publisher or institution will come along soon and see the value of this important theorists work; and return the books that are out of print to the presses and publish as much of his remaining work as possible.
