The Harmonic Theories of Sigfrid Karg-Elert: Acoustics, Function, Transformation, Perception.

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This dissertation is the first comprehensive study of the harmonic theories of German composer and music theorist Sigfrid Karg-Elert (1887--1933), whose two major treatises date from the early 1930s. The dissertation's subtitle highlights the fo.
Karg-Elert's treatises synthesize three strains of thought in late nineteenth-century German theory that were previously somewhat self-contained: a model of pitch and harmonic space derived from the pure intervals of just intonation.
Though Karg-Elert generates and explains his pitch space using acoustical and mathematical principles, he ultimately reveals that the space is a model of perception, and that we continue to understand harmonic relations in the pure intervals of.
