Phd thesis, University of Western Ontario, 2003.https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14078/208This dissertation investigates the compositionally continuous and discontinuous serial and non-serial formations found at or near the musical surface in works selected from Stravinsky’s early serial music, draws these formations into relationships through the analytical apparatus of an original transformational system, and explores their interactions through the model of generic set-class space. Ultimately, a dynamic model of the pitch structure for each of these works emerges that transcends order relationships embedded within the linear formations.3.29 MBPDFenAll Rights Reservedtransformation theorysymmetrypitch-class set generanear-equivalencyset-class spacepitch-class set theoryserial theoryIgor StravinskyAllen ForteJoseph StrausRichard ParksRobert MorrisThesis
