- Double-weighted statement
- This is a single-author monograph begun in 2009 and completed after a decade’s work (270 pages, plus bibliography and indices).
Much of the study is concerned with analytical detail, with examples taken from a corpus of more than 120 musical works (many in multiple movements). It includes more than 180 music examples, all specially edited, many deploying specialised and at times novel analytical notation. The context for this methodology draws widely from contemporary music theory as well as literature, philosophy, aesthetics and reception history.
