Die Musikalische Form als Prozes
Musical Form as a Process

Boris Asafiev (author)

Discipline: Music Analysis

Category: Other

Type: Theory / Methods

A unknown volume by Russian theory-professor Boris Assafiev, first published in 1930. He approaches musical form in an algorithmic and process-oriented manner, decades before ‘algorithmic composition’ or ‘computer assisted musical analysis’ becomes an accepted term.

Keywords: musical form; process; algorithmic thinking; formalisation;

Remarks: Conceptual basis for improvisation-pedagogy; not a course-book for students 'as such'.
