Part II explores analytical implications of the partitional model and outlines a methodology for the analysis of note-against-note and free inversional settings. The analyses use the set-class inventories for even and odd index numbers...

...Dmitri Tymoczko Taking David Lewin's work as a point of departure, this essay uses geometry to reexamine familiar music-theoretical assumptions about intervals and transformations. Section 1 introduces the problem of “transportability,” noting that it is sometimes impossible to say whether two...

...Dmitri Tymoczko This article relates two categories of music-theoretical graphs, in which points represent notes and chords, respectively. It unifies previous work by Brower, Callender, Cohn, Douthett, Gollin, O’Connell, Quinn, Steinbach, and myself, while also introducing new models of voice...

First identified by Alban Berg in a letter to Arnold Schoenberg and later discussed by George Perle and David Headlam, an aligned cycle is when two (or more) interval cycles unfold in the same direction in a note-against-note alignment...

Though many researchers have noted hints of a relationship between these two types of space, their exact relation remains murky. One way of relating these two spaces involves associating...

A perceptual model is proposed, showing how the probabilities of intervals, scale degrees, and repetition might be calculated and combined.
