Metric Manipulations in Haydn and Mozart makes a significant
contribution to music theory and to the growing conversation on
metric perception and musical composition. Focusing on the chamber
music of Haydn and Mozart produced during the years 1787 to 1791,
the period of most intense metric experimentation in the output of
both composers, author Danuta Mirka presents a systematic
discussion of metric manipulations in music of the late
18th-century. By bringing together historical and present-day
theoretical approaches to rhythm and meter on the basis of their
shared cognitive orientations, the book places the ideas of
18th-century theorists such as Riepe, Sulzer, Kirnberger and Koch
into dialogue with modern concepts in cognitive musicology,
particularly those of Fred Lerdahl and Ray Jackendoff, David
Temperley, and Justin London. In addition, the book puts
considerations of subtle and complex meter found in 18th-century
musical handbooks and lexicons into point-by-point contact with
Harald Krebs's recent theory of metrical dissonance. The result is
an innovative and illuminating reinterpretation of late
18th-century music and music perception which will have resonance
in scholarship and in analytical teaching and practice. Metric
Manipulations in Haydn and Mozart will appeal to students and
scholars in music theory and cognition/perception, and will also
have appeal to musicologists studying Haydn and Mozart.
