Annotation: The pupose of this book is twofold: First, being epistemological in nature, it is concerned with identifying methodologically and philosophically valuable achievements of contemporary musical semiotics. The second purpose is a pragmatic one. It stems from the need to interpret the theoretical thought of Eero Tarasti. There is no doubt that today's semiotic-musical thought, in the most general terms, is dominated by two central names and the theories behind them. The names are Jean-Jacques Nattiez and Eero Tarasti. While reconstructing Tarasti's theory, I use the text interpretation method suggested by Gunter Grimm. It originaterd with the general theory of reception formulated by E.D. Hirsch.

Annotation: Systems of Musical Sense breathes new life into the field of music semiotics in its intuitive mix of logical rigor and hermeneutical interpretation and unique approach to paradigmatic analysis (Ruwet, Nattiez) and established theories of tinal music (Schoenberg). More significantly, te authors lay out an entirely new and innovative theory in their concept of musical homestasis, a phenomenon closely related to the fundamental law of physics which states that all things set in motion, organic and inorganic, tend to return to their initial point of rest. In tonal music, which also incorporates teology, this can take place at different levels, embodied by various parameters. The sensitive analyses here demonstrate ramifications of this axiom and cast new light on the structuring and effects de sens of tinal genres ranging in diversity from Bach chorales to Wagnerian opera. The culmination of mera tha a decade of research by this tea of widely published music scholars, the book is also a starting point: cognitivists, theorists, musicologists, and others can use the analytic methos "as is", develop it further, or transform it.The systems unvailed here need not be confined to tonal, "common-practice" art music. As universal axiom at least as dependable as the gestaltists "law of good continuation", the theory of homeostasis reveals new dimensions in earlier musical style and thos of more contemporary vintage.
