In this influential book on the subject of rhythm, the authors
develop a theoretical framework based essentially on a Gestalt
approach, viewing rhythmic experience in terms of pattern
perception or groupings. Musical examples of increasing complexity
are used to provide training in the analysis, performance, and
writing of rhythm, with exercises for the student's own work.
"This is a path-breaking work, important alike to music students
and teachers, but it will make profitable reading for performers,
too."--"New York Times Book Review"
"When at some future time theories of rhythm . . . are . . . as
well understood, and as much discussed as theories of harmony and
counterpoint . . . they will rest in no small measure on the
foundations laid by Cooper and Meyer in this provocative
dissertation on the rhythmic structure of music."--"Notes"
." . . . a significant, courageous and, on the whole, successful
attempt to deal with a very controversial and neglected subject.
Certainly no one who takes the time to read it will emerge from the
experience unchanged or unmoved."--"Journal of Music Theory"
The late GROSVENOR W. COOPER, author of "Learning to Listen," was
professor of music at the University of California at Santa Cruz.
