Cognitive Theories of Galant Music at the Margins of Experience
Music Analysis, Volume 44, Issue 3, Page 293-339, October 2025.ABSTRACT Leading cognitive studies of galant music treat schematism as both a device and an ethos. The devices – whether called pre‐fabs, tiles or schemata – undergird a mechanistic and passive ethos of inventiveness. In vision and practice, this constellation of approaches directs inquiry away from a musical depth that one contemplates and towards a ...
