These essays, by leading American music theorists, continue the
development of some of the most important research of the last
twenty years into mathematical models of basic musical structures.
These models are elegant in the abstract, but they are also shown
to have many practical applications in explaining a wide range of
art music. Several of the contributions are bound to be classics in
this literature. --John Roeder, Professor of Music Theory,
University of British Columbia

Music Theory and Mathematics is a fitting memorial to John Clough,
one of music theory's great pioneers. Clough was among the first
scholars to introduce non-trivial mathematics into what has emerged
as diatonic set theory or scale theory. This volume consists of
essays by important theorists on a variety of topics ranging from
scale and Riemannian theory to analysis of works by Bartók and
Schoenberg. Building on Clough's research, Music Theory and
Mathematics poses new questions and approaches to what are perhaps
the most exciting directions in music theory today. --Robert
Morris, Professor of Composition, Eastman School of Music,
University of Rochester
