Most-cited papers in Contemporary Music Review

Cognitive constraints on compositional systems

Fred Lerdahl · 1 Jan 1992

In this article I explore the relationship between composing and listening. I begin with a problematic story, draw some general conclusions, introduce relevant concepts from Lerdahl and Jackendoff (1983) and related work, propose some cognitive constraints on compositional systems, discuss “pitch space”, and explain why serial (or 12-tone) organizations are cognitively opaque.

Prescriptive notation: Limits and challenges

Mieko Kanno · 1 Apr 2007

Abstract Prescriptive notation specifies means of execution rather than resultant configurations of pitch and rhythm. A focus on performative techniques influences the way in which the composer communicates through the medium of writing. In general, prescriptive notation points to a shift in the function of notation from representation to mediation. Consequently, advantages and disadvantages of…
