Don't panic, I'm not going to talk about Schencker, Set Theory or other academic devices of torture that a certain poster (we shall not mention his/her name) considers a dead end or futile. I would like though to pick up on a comment The Dude made when I was trying to critique (objectively) Ed C's "analyses" on his blog site. I use the inverted commas without irony, by the way and as I said at the time, I don't do "jealousy", that really is not my style. Michael's comment (about not being able to read music) was also of interest, as it was that that got me thinking.
So, whilst I don't call Ed C's efforts "analysis" (rather description, or a sort of sonic event log), I have to say I am at a loss at how one may meaningfully render transparent musical structure. Any ideas?
