Computational Counterpoint Worlds: Mathematical Theory, Software, and Experiments
Apie šią el. knygą
This is the first book bringing together recent developments and perspectives on mathematical counterpoint theory in detail. The authors include recent theoretical results on counterpoint worlds, the extension of counterpoint to microtonal pitch systems, the singular homology of counterpoint models, and the software implementation of contrapuntal models.
The book is suitable for graduates and researchers. A good command of algebra is a prerequisite for understanding the construction of the model.
