Recenzje

Christopher Hasty'sMeter as Rhythmis a foundational text in contemporary music theory. Hasty's accomplishment — still unparalleled in any other existing study of meter, historical or contemporary — was to encourage a complete revision of our core beliefs concerning this musical phenomenon along the lines of process philosophy. With acute sensitivity to the history of ideas surrounding temporality and to the minutiae of music's phenomenal unfolding, Hasty's book offers a distinctive theory of meter. It is a document to which all subsequent theories of musical temporality must respond.
