  3. Adler: UMZ (1885)

  4. Musicological Trends 2. From Style Analysis to Criticism • Adler, Der Stil in der Musik (Leipzig, 1911) • Kerman, Contemplating Music (Cambridge, MA, 1985)

  5. Technological Development • PC with GUI: Apple Lisa 1983

  6. Musicological Trends &Technological Development • Musicology turns away from “positivistic,” “empirical” research, when the means become available. • Rethinking and Renewal: Data-poor and data-rich topics

  7. ESAC • Essen Associative Code • developed for monophonic music, especially European folksong • code inspired by Chinese JIANPU • developed by Helmut Schaffrath (1942-94) in the 1980s • 1994 project transferred from Essen to Warsaw

  8. Key Meter Bar Octave

  9. Application • Stylistic, repertorial analysis • Database • searching • grouping Limitation • repertoire and tasks orientated

  10. Other Codes • MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) • for sound • DARMS (Digital Alternative Representation of Music Scores) • for graphic • Humdrum - Kern • modular approach

  11. Kern instrument category instrument meter key signature key { } phrase, note value (here ), pitch (f=f’) bar number

  12. Kern Haydn “Kaiser” QuartetOp. 76,3,II

  13. Application • Regulative • Explorative • means seeking ends? • form follows function?
