Publisher's Synopsis
Musical structures as a way to organise thought and narration in music. And as a founding element that builds senses and meanings, by playing with the listener's expectations. This book offers a powerful tool for musicians and a method of analysis of songs from a form perspective. An approach to musical analysis where music is considered as an event made of relations, with a series of practical examples and analysis of songs, drawn from the most different genres and sometimes even unusual songs for a musical theory book. In the appendix, a set of exercises will allow the reader to test his or her understanding of the analysis method proposed.
