Organized Time is the first attempt to unites theories of harmony,
rhythm and meter, and form under a common idea of structured time.
Building off of recent advances in music theory in essential
subfields-rhythmic theory, tonal structure, and the theory of
musical form-author Jason Yust demonstrates that tonal music
exhibits similar hierarchical organization in each of these
dimensions. Yust develops a network model for temporal structure
with an application of mathematical graph theory, which leads
ultimately to musical applications of a multi-dimensional polytope
called the associahedron. A wealth of analytical examples includes
not only the familiar tonal canon-J.S. Bach, Mozart, Schumann-but
also lesser known masters of the musical Enlightenment such as
C.P.E. and J.C. Bach, Boccherini, and Johann Gottlieb Graun. Yust's
approach has wide-ranging ramifications across music theory,
enabling new approaches to musical closure, hypermeter, formal
function, syncopation, and rhythmic dissonance, as well as
historical observations about the development of sonata form and
the innovations of Haydn and Beethoven. Making a forceful argument
for the independence of musical modalities and for multivalent a
approach to music analysis, Organized Time establishes the
aesthetic importance of structural disjunction, the conflict of
structure in different modalities, in numerous analytical contexts.
