Conference Themes
Submissions relating to all areas of psychology and music noted in the Conference
aim are welcome. In addition, proposal for symposia, in which two or more researchers
present papers on a special interest area are also encouraged. Possible symposia
proposals might include, for example:
Spoken papers will be allocated 30 minutes, consisting of 20 minutes for presentation and 8 minutes for questions and discussion (allowing 2 minutes for change-over and set-up). Full text of papers will appear in the Proceedings of the conference.
Poster and demonstration papers will appear in the conference program, abstract book, and proceedings and will have designated time-slots assigned to them. For demonstrations of software or equipment authors will be responsible for ensuring that the necessary equipment is available, and their submission should include a full description of the equipment and facilities required.
Symposia will consist of a set of integrated spoken papers related to a theme. We are interested in encouraging symposia at ICMPC7 particularly on new intersections of research interests. The total time allowed for a symposium will be 2 hours, consisting of four 25-minute papers and a discussion (although variations will be considered). Symposium convenors are asked to coordinate submission of papers including an abstract for the entire symposium stating the rationale for the topic, the aims of the symposium, and the set of speakers proposed. A discussant may also be proposed.

Symposium of World Musics
School of Music
Texas Tech University
March 6 - 8, 2002
CALL FOR PROPOSALS
In the new millennium, the rise of global culture has led to a vastly increased awareness and appreciation of the world's indigenous musics. Indigenous musics move with great flexibility across political, ethnic, linguistic, and geographical boundaries. In the 21st century, therefore, education in the world's musics enhances the student's global awareness.
The Symposium of World Musics provides exciting opportunities for scholars, performers, and students of the world's indigenous musics to share research, performances, and discussion over the course of three days. The symposium will include individual and panel presentations, lecture-demonstrations, and daytime and evening performances of indigenous musics and related genres (dance, theater, video) on the campus of Texas Tech University, in Lubbock, Texas. Evening concerts featuring notable artists will be open to the community at large.
The School of Music at Texas Tech University serves as a center of musical art and culture the South Plains, enrolling over 440 undergraduate and graduate students and granting advanced degrees in all applied instruments, conducting, composition, music education, history and literature, and music theory. Lubbock, the home town of legendary musicians like Buddy Holly, the Crickets, and the Flatlanders, is a city of 200,000 with great arts, music, and nightlife.
Proposals are welcome concerning any topic related to indigenous music. Presentations should be of interest to a general music audience. We seek submissions in five formats:
1. Papers - Please send a proposal or entire paper. Presentations should last 25 minutes with 5 minutes allowed for questions. Include a list of equipment needed for the presentation.
2. Lecture-demonstrations - Please send a proposal or entire paper. Presentations should last 50 minutes with 10 minutes allowed for questions. Include a list of equipment needed for the presentation.
3. Performances - Please send a video (1 inch Beta format preferred), repertoire, and any relevant documentation such as press kit or bio.

Poundie BursteinMannes Summer Institute in Schenkerian Theory
THE INSTITUTE FOR ADVANCED STUDIES IN MUSIC THEORY
SUMMER INSTITUTE IN SCHENKERIAN THEORY & ANALYSIS
JUNE 27-30, 2002 MANNES COLLEGE NEW YORK CITY
PROGRAM AND SESSION DESCRIPTIONS
Director: Wayne Alpern
Faculty: William Rothstein (chair), Carl Schachter (plenary speaker), Matthew Brown, Charles Burkhart, Nicholas Cook, David Gagne, Frank Samarotto, Hedi Siegel, Robert Snarrenberg
A. Opening Panel Discussion
THE STATE OF THE DISCIPLINE: PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE
Moderator: Hedi Siegel
Panelists: Nicholas Cook, Frank Samarotto, Carl Schachter
The opening panel discussion will assess the history, struggle, and development of Schenkerian theory, from its modest origins to its current ubiquity--all as a background for more controversial inquiries about what it actually is or should be today, and what it might become or risks becoming in the future. Now spanning several generations, musicians working in the discipline have grown from a small community of specialists to a vast group of students, teachers, analysts, performers, historians, and scholars working from multiple perspectives. This development has occurred in a changing theoretical climate to which Schenkerians have responded, explicitly or implicitly, in a variety of ways.
We will consider these various responses, as well as what reactions the Schenkerian enterprise might itself provoke in the music theory of the future. Certainly we stand at a time of fruitful opportunity: the increasing availability of Schenker's writings in translation and the accessibility of his unpublished papers has vastly expanded and refined our sense of Schenker's method. There also seems to be no end to the expansion of the scope and range of Schenkerian research. Need this, however, provoke battles over propriety and orthodoxy? Should we look for precedents as justification? Or must revision or restructuring be immediately embraced as the way of the future? Can or should the Schenkerian community agree as to what is revision and what is orthodoxy? To what degree does even the notion of a "Schenkerian community" remain viable and relevant?
An open discussion of these broader issues seems desirable--indeed necessary--for the continued vibrancy, relevance, and health of a discipline that has elicited such strong commitments and reactions. The panelists' aim will be to spark a vigorous debate over the growth and future development of Schenkerian studies, setting the stage for the detailed investigations of the Institute as a whole.
B. Plenary Presentations
THREE ANALYSES
Instructor: Carl Schachter
Each of these sessions will be devoted to the analysis of a single piece of music, concentrating on the special and in some cases unique features of each particular work. We will explore the relative merits of analytic readings that are comparatively straightforward versus those that are more recherche. The more obvious interpretations are those that tend to assign structural priority to elements specially emphasized in the foreground, or that seem to conform closely to stylistic or structural norms. Very often these readings are to be preferred--but not always. Since these sessions will involve all participants, there will be a considerable amount of lecturing, but with as much questioning, discussion, and debate as the format will allow.
Session 1: Schubert, "Der Neugierige" from Die Schöne Müllerin. Analyzing this song allows for, indeed requires, a kind of Schenkerian implication/realization approach. That is, awareness of a path not taken near the beginning of the song becomes crucial for the understanding of the work as a whole.
Session 2: Mozart, Piano and Violin Sonata, K. 481, 2nd movement. This is one of Mozart's greatest slow movements, composed as a very free rondo. We will compare conflicting interpretations that result from hearing key areas as primary carriers of harmonic structure, versus those taking large-scale voice-leading structures as primary. The remarkable "false reprise" in A major is the most prominent feature that might evoke these conflicting analyses--but it is not the only one.
Session 3: Beethoven, Piano Sonata, op. 53 ("Waldstein"), 1st movement. Most experienced Schenkerians have worked on this piece, but it is also extremely important for those relatively new to the approach. This is because its structure pushes the limits of Schenker's theory, specifically in regard to what he called "Diatonie." In a brief but somewhat garbled passage in Free Composition, Schenker calls attention to one of its distinctive features, but by no means the most crucial one. The relation of tonal structure to sonata form, particularly in the recapitulation and coda, is also most unusual--as are some of the motivic elements, whose recognition strongly influences how one reads the voice leading of several important sections and passages.
C. Analytic Workshops
SCHENKERIAN PARADIGMS AND THEIR EXTENSION
Instructor: Charles Burkhart
This workshop will feature a hands-on, how-to-do-it approach in which the participants and instructor will work out graphs together, giving priority to the discussion of analytical, theoretical, and notational issues as they arise. Our focus will first be on common paradigms and standard techniques of Schenkerian analysis, and then on the degree to which they can be extended, or modified, and still be useful.
First, we will consider Verdi, "Addio del passato" from La traviata, addressing choice of initial tone, interruption, mixture at the first level, the problem of repetition, #IV, and non-structural tonics, and Chopin, E-flat major Prelude, op. 28, no. 19, addressing problems of register, substitution, three-part form, and the tonal meaning of inversional symmetry. Next, we will consider frequently encountered middleground paradigms of sonata form, focusing on Mozart, 35th Symphony ("Haffner"), second movement, and Beethoven, C Minor Piano Sonata, op. 10, no. 1, first movement, with attention to Schenker's own analyses, his concept of rhythmic expansion ("Dehnung"), and Oster's alternate paradigm of an initial-tone 5 over an "inner-voice" 3-2 descent in the exposition.
Finally, we will consider what Schenker's method can reveal about several excerpts from Wagner's Tristan and Isolde, a work mostly lacking the closed monotonal forms the method was designed to explicate, and explore the complex nature of prolongation in "triadic post-tonality."
SCHENKERIAN SYNTAX: VARIATIONS ON THREE THEMES
Instructor: William Rothstein
Each of these sessions will focus on a different aspect of Schenkerian analytic technique, approached as a distinctive form of musical syntax. Our repertoire will include Mozart variations, a Handel chaconne, and music of Bach and Brahms.
Session 1: Reading and Writing Graphs. This session will be devoted to the grammar and syntax of Schenkerian graphing. Constructing a correct graph will be seen to rest on principles of voice leading derived from thoroughbass (C.P.E. Bach) and species counterpoint (Fux), along with a few principles of harmonic progression and melodic "good continuation." Examples of correct and incorrect graphing will be discussed; occasional violations of "the rules" in Schenker's own graphs will also be addressed.
Session 2: Diminution, Invertible Counterpoint, and Variation Technique. How can a basic structure be varied? And how can those variations be traced back to their (often implicit) models? 18th-century variation technique, as found in variations and other genres, will be used to explore these issues. Emphasis will be on "reading" the musical foreground and comparing related passages to each other.
Session 3: Voice-leading Structure and Form. Certain formal patterns often correspond to recurrent patterns of middleground voice leading, which might be regarded as default analyses. This session will focus on pieces in which the musical surface itself suggests alternatives to a default analysis, indicating that form and voice-leading structure ("outer form" vs. "inner
form") stand in a complex relation to each other.
ANALYSES AFTER SCHENKER: RECONSIDERING THE LEGACY
Instructor: Frank Samarotto
Schenker's remarkable legacy consists of not only a rich and fascinating theoretical apparatus, but also a dauntingly complex body of analyses, whose reconsideration presents both problems and opportunities. His elusive mode of presentation is barrier enough, but one must then begin to disentangle what an analysis illustrates about the theory from what it illuminates about the piece, and, ultimately, whether either is carried through in a sound and insightful way. Even when Schenker is thoroughly persuasive, we are left with
questions: Is our own alternative analysis possible (or desirable)? Is more than one "correct" analysis imaginable?
We will attempt to refine our analytical skills by using a number of Schenker's own analyses, published and unpublished, as starting points. In so doing, we will consider ways in which Schenker's method addresses the available alternatives in such matters as form and voice leading, choice of Urlinie, motivic parallelism, and even character and musical meaning. Our repertoire of analyses includes Brahms, Waltz op. 39, no. 1--reconstructing a detailed foreground from Schenker's middleground in order to reconcile all levels; Bach, Allemande from French Suite in E major--examining the relation of form and rhetoric to background structure; Beethoven, Sonata in G major, op. 14, no. 2--assessing Schenker's problematic reading of the development and its rationale; and Brahms, Rhapsody in B minor, op. 79, no. 1--considering whether its extravagant harmonic and formal structure is adequately represented by Schenker's unpublished analysis in the Oster Collection.
D. Conceptual Study Groups
SCHENKERIAN THEORY AS A THEORY OF TONALITY
Instructor: Matthew Brown
One of Schenker's main achievements was to show how the laws of strict counterpoint are transformed in tonal contexts. The first session will examine this basic idea, which runs throughout all of Schenker's mature writings. We will review the laws of strict counterpoint formulated by Fux where voice leading changes as the voices increase and triads become the most important sonorities, consider Schenker's claim that these laws are transformed in tonal contexts when triads are functionally related, and explore how he modifies familiar laws of tonal harmony. In the second session we will examine how Schenker's prototypes and transformations are related to the laws of tonal voice leading, focusing on the distinction between recursive and non-recursive transformations, and their preservation from one level to another as expressed by his well-known motto: "semper idem sed non eodem modo."
The final session will engage the controversial issue of "dissonant prolongation." Schenker regarded the distinction between consonance and dissonance as sacrosanct: consonances are stable and control a work's underlying contrapuntal motion, dissonances are unstable and play some subordinate or elaborative role. As several commentators have noted, however, Schenker seems to have contradicted his own arguments. We will try to resolve some of these inconsistencies by clarifying certain details of his theory and replacing Schenker's graphs with some analyses of our own.
UNDERSTANDING THE SCHENKER PROJECT
Instructor: Nicholas Cook
"The Schenker project" implies there was a consistent ideological urge that not only colored Schenker's language but also motivated his work as a whole. Studies of Schenker's intellectual milieu generally have focused on his relationship to contemporary literary, philosophical, and scientific thought, as well as to the music-theoretical tradition, but have avoided engagement with his overtly political views, which are unattractive to present-day commentators, commonplace within their time, and oddly dissonant with his situation as a Galician Jew in Vienna at the height of the Ostjuden immigration.
We shall use Schenker's politics as a point of departure in exploring the broader ideological context that underlay his work, with particular attention
to: (1) currents of Austrian and German conservatism, in light of Schenker's position as an over-assimilating Jew within a context of national cultural renewal; (2) right-wing German discourses of nature appropriating the rhetoric of the "natural" for ideological and political ends, lending a politically-charged dimension to what had been a central music-theoretical concern since Rameau; and (3) a specifically Austrian tradition of understanding music as a representation of social relationships, and a symbolic arena for working through the ethnic, social, and political problems of the time. Reconstructing this way of thinking about (or through) music contributes to an understanding not only of Schenker's project but also of the continuing fascination of music theory today.
LINES OF INTERPRETATION
Instructor: Robert Snarrenberg
One thing new and fundamental that Schenker offered in his theories and fantasies was the notion that mental prototypes shape musical perception. There is more to music than meets the ears. Indeed, what is, musically, is a product of what is thought and heard. From Schenker's point of view, the effect of what "actually" occurs in music is gauged in terms of what "should" or "might" have happened--which is very much determined by what theory a listener brings to the table, as a matter of either choice or training.
We shall examine ways that linear prototypes shape musical perception: specifically, Schenker's Urlinie-Zug and Bassbrechung, the contrapuntal combination of these prototypes in the Ursatz, and two repertories of linear elaboration prototypes (expanding and diminuting). We begin with Peter Westergaard's definition of monotriadic lines, and extend it to harmonically progressive counterpoint framed in terms of the expanding elaboration of Schenker's linear prototypes. The coordination of global linear structures connects with Schenker's Ursatz, as illustrated in an analysis of Bach's Invention in G Major. Next, we explore the rhythm of diminutional linear elaboration, utilizing and expanding upon Westergaard's theoretical account in terms of pitch and time, and providing participants an opportunity to work with these concepts and evaluate a set of proposed interpretive principles in a musical context. Last, we observe how these linear prototypes shape musical perception, focusing on Brahms, "O kuehler Wald," op. 46, no. 3, with particular attention to interactions between musical and poetic lines.
E. Closing Panel Discussion
SCHENKERIAN PEDAGOGY AT THE CROSSROADS
Moderator: David Gagne
Panelists: Matthew Brown, Charles Burkhart, William Rothstein, Robert Snarrenberg
Much of Schenker's work as a theorist grew out of pedagogical concerns and is didactic in nature. The student-teacher relationship has always been central to the discipline. Yet because his ideas are subtle, complex, and sometimes obscure, and the context and demands of music education ever-changing, problems often arise in their transmission. The oral tradition established by Schenker's students, notably Salzer and Jonas, remains a central source, yet increasingly other educators lacking first hand contact with this tradition present the subject differently. As the field itself evolves in new directions, so as well does its teaching.
In many ways, we are confronting pedagogical crossroads; the challenges are great, and the solutions unclear. How, for example, should Schenker's work and ideas be balanced with the innovations of later theorists? To what extent should Schenker's ideology or philosophical outlook be incorporated? Some analysts maintain there is always in principle a correct analysis, while others believe that more than one valid interpretation is possible: how can the question of right and wrong analyses be addressed both conceptually and practically? Should Schenkerian analysis be taught primarily from the "top down" or "bottom up," and can we resolve this dichotomy? Should the approach be that of a general theory of tonal music, or of specific observations about individual pieces? Should Schenkerian analysis be incorporated into the teaching of form, or vice versa? How should Schenkerian pedagogy be adapted for performers, general music majors, or liberal arts students, without compromising its analytic integrity?
This closing panel discussion will address such concerns, explore the strengths and pitfalls of different pedagogical approaches, confront controversial issues about how and why this analytic methodology should continue to be taught, and offer specific pedagogical insights to the participants in their professional capacity as music educators.
APPLICATION PROCESS AND CRITERIA
Some prior experience in Schenkerian theory and analysis is desirable, but expertise is not required. Participants will present a broad spectrum of Schenkerian backgrounds, supplemented by achievement in other areas of music scholarship where necessary. Minimum ABD status is mandatory, with preference for established scholars in accordance with the Institute's mission of continuing professional education. Participation includes all plenary presentations and panel discussions, plus one concurrent analytic workshop and one concurrent conceptual study group limited to 12-14 members each, with a total enrollment of 35-40 scholars selected from qualified applicants. There is no tuition, but intellectual commitment, dedicated preparation, and active participation in the interactive methodology and collegial goals of the Institute are essential.
Electronic applications only will be accepted from January 1 to March 1, 2002 via the Institute's website at www.mannes.edu/mannesinstitute. For information contact The Institute for Advanced Studies in Music Theory, Wayne Alpern, Director, at mannesinstitute@aol.com.

Musicological Society of Australia
MSA NATIONAL CONFERENCE 2002
CALL FOR PAPERS
The National Conference of the Musicological Society of Australia will be held at the Conservatorium of Music in Newcastle from October 3 to 6.
The Conference Themes will be:
Research through Performance
Music and Society
Structure and Context
Music and Technology
The Conference Committee calls for expressions of interest in delivering either papers (20 minutes length, with ten minutes' question time) or lecture-demonstrations (40 minutes length, including all musical illustrations) addressing any of these four themes.
The themes of this conference are designed to crystallize discussion of four issues, which are of major importance to members of this society. There has been considerable discussion in recent MSA forums of relationships between performers and scholars; the Conservatorium at Newcastle has a strong tradition of exploring very close links between academic and practical studies. Accordingly we invite members to focus in this Conference on Research through Performance, focusing on the ways in which performance may itself be a medium for research. (Three members of the staff at Newcastle, Michael Ewans, Rosalind Halton and Ian Cook, will introduce and present research performances as part of the Conference Program).
Another theme, which is the subject of ongoing debate in MSA, is the relationship between Music and Society. We invite contributions under this rubric both from ethnomusicologists and from all who wish to explore the roles which music has played and is playing in the social and political fabric of western cultures.
Under the rubric Structure and Context we invite exploration of the many forms of analysis which may unfold different structural patterns in music, and the contexts in which they can and should be located.
Finally, the Newcastle Conference will address perhaps the most significant issue confronting musicians and musicologists in the twenty-first century - the rapidly developing and changing relationships between Music and Technology. The Conference will devote both paper sessions and a plenary panel discussion to this theme.

New Journal Issue: Analitica 2/1
Analitica. Online Journal of Musical Studies
Vol. 2, number 1 (July 2001)
The third issue of Analitica. Online Journal of Musical Studies - published by the Group for Music Analysis and Theory (G.A.T.M.) in collaboration with the State University of Bologna, Department of Music - is available at www.muspe.unibo.it/gatm.
The third issue of Analitica (July 2001) features an article by Marco Mangani dealing with some important aspects of analysis methodology with reference to a specific repertory from the late sixteenth century. Basing his analysis on collections of three-part canzonette written in Mantua between 1585 and 1607, the Author proposes a particular multi-level approach to segmentation. After breaking up the verbal text into textual segments, the polyphonic segments are identified (i.e. the way the composer has distributed the text) and the main cadential mechanisms of each single episode are then determined.
We confirm our particular interest in the latest developments in computer-aided analysis by proposing in the review section (edited by Wilma D'Ambrosio) a Bibliografia compiled by Francesco Giomi specifically dedicated to these matters. In the Bibliografia - partly commented by Giomi himself and which we intend to extend and complete in the coming issues - the interested reader can find some of the most recent works on computer analysis and the analysis of electro-acoustic music.
Much space has been dedicated to the works featured in the Secondo Incontro di Studio di Analitica held in Castelfranco Veneto and organized in collaboration with the local music conservatory and the journal Diastema. The conference was notable for the presence of many young scholars who presented their works during the three specific sessions (Twentieth century, Analysis and Performance, Birth of tonality and Classical-romantic repertoires). The two days of the meeting were completed by Filippo Faes and Pietro Rigacci, talented performers who held two concerto-talks which were duly introduced and commented by Wilma D'Ambrosio, Francesco Scarpellini Pancrazi and Paolo Troncon - and a paper by Piero Gargiulo about the progetto ITMI (Indici della Trattatistica Musicale Italiana, secc. xiv-xviii).
As promised in our last issue, we have begun to publish in the Dissertation Archives section edited by Simonetta Ricciardi the abstracts (in Italian and English) of degree, doctorate and musicology dissertations dealing with analysis. On this subject, we once again invite readers to send us news and details of their own dissertations and of those of their institutions, using the format that can be requested directly from the editor of the section.
This issue concludes with the usual section for miscellaneous announcements, conferences, activities and calls for papers, as well as news about the activities of the Gruppo di Analisi e Teoria Musicale (G.A.T.M.) and the Indices of the Bollettino di analisi e teoria musicale (updated till 2000). As always we renew our invitation to take up the free subscription to our journal: in this way the reader can be informed promptly about the publication of the issues of the journal, and receive the latest news about conferences, announcements, activities and calls for papers; it also enables us to get to know our readers, if only through their e-mail address.
Finally I am pleased to announce a new publication by the G.A.T.M., prepared in collaboration with our journal. The main scope of the Quaderni di Analitica will be to gather articles originally published in the journal online, along with papers and studies presented during meetings and conferences of analytical and theoretical interest. The Primo Quaderno contains the Italian versions of the works published in the first four issues of the journal, as well as the papers that Mario Baroni, Loris Azzaroni, Gianmario Borio, Giorgio Sanguinetti and Marco Renoldi presented during the round table that opened the Primo Incontro di Studio di Analitica, held at the University of Bologna on February 4 and 5 last year.
