Update; PDFs available

I've taken a retrospective look at all the posts and have gathered materials into topic-specific PDF files that are accessible from my personal website: Neumeyer. [NB 3 July 2016: These files have since been published on the Texas Scholar Works platform. The links below have been updated]  

The topics are:
  1. (available as Dance Designs in 18th and Early 19th Century Music) Formal functions in European dance music from the 18th and 19th centuries, analyzed using William Caplin's form-function theory
  2. (available under the same title) Critique of Carl Schachter's critique of the rising Urlinie
  3. (available under the title Dance and Dancing in Schubert's Vienna) Schubert, dance, and dancing in the early 19th century
  4. (available under the title Analyses of Schubert, Waltz, D.779n13) Anthology of analyses of Schubert, Valses sentimentales, D 779, no. 13 (the original purpose of the blog).
I have also divided the blog itself in two. Hearing Schubert D779n13 will continue to focus on analysis and in particular on rising lines and cadence gestures. [NB 3 July 2016: The blog was further split into the Schubert blog and one called Ascending Gestures in Tonal Music] A new companion blog, Dance and Dance Music, 1650-1850, will focus on dance and dancing in the 18th and 19th centuries.
