Contents:
Introduction -- Physical Reality -- Psychological Reality -- Mental Reality -- Generalities about Signs, Neumes, Periods and Development Sentences -- De Saussure and Peirce, the Semiotic Architecture, Digital vs. Analog Music Encoding -- Riemannian Harmony and The HarmonRubette Software -- De Saussure's Six Dichotomies -- The Babushka Principle in Semiotics: Connotation, Motivation, Metatheory -- The Musical Case of Iterated Imbrication of Semiotic Components -- What Is Art? -- MIDI Code -- Global Music -- Gesture Theory in Music -- Frege's Prison of Functions -- Music Without Scores. Neuroscience and Gestures -- Mathematical Gesture Theory -- Creativity Theory.
In: Springer eBooksSummary: This book explains music's comprehensive ontology, its way of existence and processing, as specified in its compact characterization: music embodies meaningful communication and mediates physically between its emotional and mental layers. The book unfolds in a basic discourse in everyday language that is accessible to everybody who wants to understand what this topic is about. Musical ontology is delayed in its fundamental dimensions: its realities, its meaningful communication, and its embodied utterance from musical creators to an interested audience. The authors' approach is applicable to every musical genre and is scientific, the book is suitable for non-musicians and non-scientists alike.
