Call for Papers
The Italian Gruppo Analisi e Teoria Musicale (GATM), in cooperation with the Sagra Malatestiana and the Municipality of Rimini, is pleased to announce that the 18th International Conference on Music Theory and Analysis will be held on 28, 29, 30, 31 October in the premises of ISSM “G. Lettimi” in Rimini; in case of health emergency the Conference will be held in mixed mode, or only on line on a platform previously indicated to the participants. Scholars are invited to submit a proposal on any topic related to music theory and analysis, with no distinction of genre, historical period, and geographical area. In particular, the Committee revives the “Analysis and Interpretation” session, in cooperation with RAMI (Associazione per la Ricerca Artistica Musicale in Italia), dedicated to the works of two or more participants, concerning a specific composition where there is an obvious and explicit interaction between the work carried out by an analyst and the work carried out by an interpreter. As a matter of principle, such works may be integrated with a partial or complete performance of the piece, or the pieces, examined.
