This monograph examines the place of repetition in perceived
musical structure and in theories of music. Following a preface and
introduction, there are four main chapters: 'Theory', 'Analysis',
'Metatheory and Meta-analysis', and 'Cognition and Metacognition'.
Chapter 2 (Theory) sets out the principles underlying the creation
and cognition of musical structure developed by the author in
earlier studies, in the dual context of David Lewin's
mathematically based theory of musical intervals and
transformations and Gilles Fauconnier's concept of mental spaces
(which was formulated in the context of cognitive science). Chapter
3 (Analysis) shows the theory in operation in relation to the first
movement of Mozart's piano sonata K.333. It indicates how
structural issues may be related to considerations of aesthetic
response and musical 'worth' through comparison with J.C. Bach's
Sonata op. 5 no. 3. Chapter 4 (Metatheory and Meta-analysis) uses
the new theory to interrogate the propositions underpinning set
theory and transformations, offering a psychomusicological critique
and potential development of, for example, the work of Forte,
Morris, Isaacson and Straus. This enables issues raised earlier in
relation to the work of Lewin to be addressed. In conclusion, in
Chapter 5 (Cognition and Metacognition), the matter of cognitive
preferences and constraints is considered in relation to repetition
in music, which permits a final investigation of different
approaches to musical analysis to be undertaken. In summary, by
synthesising the findings of diverse earlier work in the context of
the new theory, it proves possible to move thinking forward on a
number of fronts, and to indicate potential directions for future
empirical and analytical developments.
