JEAN-JACQUES NATTIEZSet Theory, analysis of the neutral level, and poieticsAbstractThrough an evaluation of Set Theory based on the distinction between the delimitation and the definition of musical units, the author shows how this theoretical model supplies a description of the components of an atonal work which is the equivalent of Roman-numeral harmonic analysis, while at the same time contesting the way in which these units are described and segmented. Using the paradigmatic method, he subjects Forte's analysis of the first eleven measures of Schoenberg's Opus 11, no. 1 to a critical reassessment which calls into question the basic vocabulary which Forte proposes for this piece. He then goes on to examine the validity of Forte's claims about the poietic relevance of his analysis, which he ultimately contests from a historical as well as a cognitive point of view. This talk concludes with a concrete proposal which aims at reconciling the elaborate nomenclature of Forte with a rigorous method of musical segmentation. |
