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:
- (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
- (available under the same title) Critique of Carl Schachter's critique of the rising Urlinie
- (available under the title Dance and Dancing in Schubert's Vienna) Schubert, dance, and dancing in the early 19th century
- (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.
