This volume includes an extensive survey of traditional approaches to musical narrative illustrated by a wide variety of musical examples that highlight the range and applicability of the theoretical apparatus. Almén provides a careful delineation of the essential elements and preconditions of musical narrative organization, an eclectic analytical model applicable to a wide range of musical styles and repertoires, a classification scheme of narrative types and subtypes reflecting conceptually distinct narrative strategies, a wide array of interpretive categories, and a sensitivity to the dependence of narrative interpretation on the cultural milieu of the work, its various audiences, and the analyst. A Theory of Musical Narrative provides both an excellent introduction to an increasingly important conceptual domain and a complex reassessment of its possibilities and characteristics.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51703415079200,"sku":"NEW025335238X","price":45.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/61zyCJC3rlL_5748c24d-3104-4d79-a9f4-555d6422cf10.jpg?v=1779390818","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/a-theory-of-musical-narrative-musical-meaning-and-interpretation-025335238x","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
