Large‐Scale Structure, Performance and Brahms's Op. 119 No. 2

open access: yesMusic Analysis, Volume 40, Issue 1, Page 104-130, March 2021., 2021
ABSTRACT Research in musical performance studies has generated a healthy scepticism of the importance of large‐scale structure to performance (in terms of both interpretation and perception): on the one hand, it might well be hardwired into notation; on the other, prioritising it risks simply repeating outworn maxims that neglect the performer's ...

Musical Mereology

open access: yesPacific Philosophical Quarterly, Volume 107, Issue 2, Page 58-73, June 2026.
ABSTRACT I develop an axiomatic system of mereology that accounts for the ways in which musical works can be said to have parts. I distinguish two fundamental modes of composition that musical works exhibit: successive composition, whereby sound events are concatenated in time, and simultaneous composition, whereby sound events occur at the same time ...

The Off‐Tonic Recapitulation in Context: a Study in Fuzziness

open access: yesMusic Analysis, Volume 44, Issue 3, Page 372-392, October 2025.
ABSTRACT The double return of the principal theme and home key has long held pride of place in theories of sonata form.

Cognitive Theories of Galant Music at the Margins of Experience

open access: yesMusic Analysis, Volume 44, Issue 3, Page 293-339, October 2025.

open access: yesMusic Analysis, Volume 44, Issue 1, Page 3-43, March 2025.
ABSTRACT Is musical analysis meant to guide performance – or to be based on it? Can a Schenkerian analysis of a piece be corroborated by a performance or an arrangement?

Reconsidering ‘Classical’ versus ‘Recombinant’ Teleologies: a Case Study of Philip Glass's Piano Etude No. 6

open access: yesMusic Analysis, Volume 44, Issue 1, Page 73-99, March 2025.
ABSTRACT In contrast to the teleological nature of Western art music, minimalism has long been purported to be ‘anti‐teleological’ (Meyer 1963) – that is, the latter lacks the goal‐directedness that Wim Mertens (1983) views as a defining feature of the former.
