Abstract:听
Many of the pitch-based conventions that typify a large set of western musical styles鈥攆rom European court, church, and concert compositions of the seventeenth through nineteenth centuries, to North American and British popular chart toppers of the twentieth and twenty-first鈥攎ay be generalized by a model based in neoclassical economics. This talk summarizes some of these findings, with a focus on how these economic generalizations may be incorporated into a music theory curriculum.
