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

Selected Works Temporary Series

The model presented in this lecture includes a number of important factors that may affect the perception of key relationships and assigns numerical measures to those factors. These measures are then used in …
