A Quantitative Model Of Key Distance, With An Analysis And Performance Of Schumann’S "Märchenbilder", Op. 113 (Music Theory Presentation, Lecture-Recital), Dominic Dousa, Renee Skerik

Dominic Dousa

Musicians are familiar with the traditional categorizations of key relationships: closely related, parallel, relative, and foreign. While some of these terms do describe well the relatedness of keys, they do not provide a clear means of comparing the relative remoteness of all keys from a particular reference key.

A Conductor’S Guide To Wind Instrument Deficiencies: A Practical Addendum To The Undergraduate Conducting Text, Donald Bradley Snow

Dissertations

Nonetheless, existing pedagogical materials for undergraduate conductors in training are of little or no help.
