2. Music theory - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_theory

   Music theory. Music theory is the study of the practices and possibilities of music. The Oxford Companion to Music describes three interrelated uses of the term "music theory": The first is the "rudiments", that are needed to understand music notation ( key signatures, time signatures, and rhythmic notation ); the second is learning scholars ...

3. The Language of Music (theory book) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Language_of_Music...

   The Language of Music (2012) is a contemporary music theory book written by Tom Brooks and published by Hal Leonard Publishing. The book explains principles used in modern music starting at a foundational level (Basic Building Blocks of Music) and progressing to topics such as Chord Building , Transposition, Cadences , Modes , and Chord ...

4. Pythagorean tuning - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pythagorean_tuning

   Pythagorean tuning is a system of musical tuning in which the frequency ratios of all intervals are based on the ratio 3:2. [2] This ratio, also known as the "pure" perfect fifth, is chosen because it is one of the most consonant and easiest to tune by ear and because of importance attributed to the integer 3.

5. Articulation (music) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Articulation_(music)

   Articulation is a musical parameter that determines how a single note or other discrete event is sounded. Articulations primarily structure an event's start and end, determining the length of its sound and the shape of its attack and decay. They can also modify an event's timbre, dynamics, and pitch. [1]

6. Schenkerian analysis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schenkerian_analysis

   Schenkerian analysis is a method of analyzing tonal music based on the theories of Heinrich Schenker (1868–1935). The goal is to demonstrate the organic coherence of the work by showing how the "foreground" (all notes in the score) relates to an abstracted deep structure, the Ursatz. This primal structure is roughly the same for any tonal ...

7. Set theory (music) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Set_theory_(music)

   The fundamental concept of musical set theory is the (musical) set, which is an unordered collection of pitch classes. [4] More exactly, a pitch-class set is a numerical representation consisting of distinct integers (i.e., without duplicates). [5] The elements of a set may be manifested in music as simultaneous chords, successive tones (as in ...

9. Music - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music

   Theory, even of music of the common practice period, may take other forms. Musical set theory is the application of mathematical set theory to music, first applied to atonal music. Speculative music theory, contrasted with analytic music theory, is devoted to the analysis and synthesis of music materials, for example tuning systems, generally ...
