This volume includes an extensive survey of traditional approaches to musical narrative illustrated by a wide variety of musical examples that highlight the range and applicability of the theoretical apparatus. Almén provides a careful delineation of the essential elements and preconditions of musical narrative organization, an eclectic analytical model applicable to a wide range of musical styles and repertoires, a classification scheme of narrative types and subtypes reflecting conceptually distinct narrative strategies, a wide array of interpretive categories, and a sensitivity to the dependence of narrative interpretation on the cultural milieu of the work, its various audiences, and the analyst. \u003ci\u003eA Theory of Musical Narrative\u003c\/i\u003e provides both an excellent introduction to an increasingly important conceptual domain and a complex reassessment of its possibilities and characteristics.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Indiana University Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47610710294679,"sku":"9780253352385","price":4721.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780253352385.webp?v=1775066667","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/theory-of-musical-narrative-9780253352385","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
