Synopsis

"Cognitive Foundations of Musical Pitch" addresses the central problem of music cognition: how the listener's response moves beyond the mere registration of the auditory events present in the music to include the organization, interpretation, and remembrance of these sound events, in terms of their function in the musical context of pitch and rhythm. The author also asks how the psychological organization of music is dependent on the structure of the music itself. Taking the approach of cognitive psychology, Krumhansl integrates more than a decade of her own original research with the available literature on music cognition. Throughout, the author has taken care to provide adequate background in experimental methods and music theory so that no special background is needed to follow the major arguments.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book addresses the central problem of music cognition: how listeners' responses move beyond mere registration of auditory events to include the organization, interpretation, and remembrance of these events in terms of their function in a musical context of pitch and rhythm. Equally important, the work offers an analysis of the relationship between the psychological organization of music and its internal structure. Combining over a decade of original research on music cognition with an overview of the available literature, the work will be of interest to cognitive and physiological psychologists, psychobiologists, musicians, music researchers, and music educators. The author provides the necessary background in experimental methodology and music theory so that no specialized knowledge is required for following her major arguments.
