International Conference on Musical Form

The Society for Music Analysis Formal Theory Study Group invites proposals for the International Conference on Musical Form. For at least the last 25 years, music theory has witnessed remarkable developments in this area. This renewed interest, referred to as the ‘new Formenlehre’, has stemmed especially from the development of analytical theories for late eighteenth-century music advanced by William Caplin (1998) and James Hepokoski and Warren Darcy (2006). The International Conference on Musical Form seeks to reflect on the achievements of and the ongoing debates surrounding the new Formenlehre, whilst also considering its future. We welcome not only papers dealing with theoretical and analytical issues, but also contributions from related disciplines including historical musicology, history of music theory, corpus studies, music cognition, ethnomusicology, performance studies, philosophy of music, and sociology of music.
Suggested themes include but are not limited to:
– The new Formenlehre
– Classical form
– Romantic form
– Post-Romantic form
– Form in post-tonal music
– Form in early music
– Form in popular music
– Form in non-Western music
– Syntax and closure
– Syntax and schema
– Historical approaches to form
– History of Formenlehre
– Formenlehreand music theory pedagogy
– Form and hermeneutics
– Form and performance
– Form and music cognition
– Empirical approaches to form

– Individual papers (20 minutes with 10 minutes for discussion)
– Themed sessions of 3 papers (20 minutes each, with 10 minutes per paper for discussion)
