Relating Musical Structure and Content to Aesthetic Response: A Model and Analysis of Beethoven's Piano Sonata Op. 110

Author:

Ockelford Adam

Abstract

AbstractA model is presented which aims to show how, for listeners familiar with a given style, aesthetic response to music may be related to its ‘structure’ (as defined in relation to ‘zygonic’ theory) and ‘content’ (the particular perceived qualities of sound that pertain to a given musical event). The model combines recent empirical findings from music psychology with other approaches adapted from music theory and philosophy. Intramusical considerations, which form the core of the model, are positioned within a broader socio-cultural, cognitive and physical context. The new framework is used to inform an analysis of Beethoven's Piano Sonata op.110, which examines in particular the notions of teleology in music and narrative metaphor.

3. Observe that relationships (whether or not they are zygonic) which link different values use half-arrowheads (in contradistinction to full arrowheads, which are indicative of identity). Note also that some arrowheads are open and some are filled – the former showing a link between single values, and the latter indicating a compound connection within or between ‘constants’ (typically, values extended in time) – implying a network of relationships the same. For fuller explanations, see Ockelford, The Cognition of Order in Music.

4. A fuller discussion of key issues in zygonic theory, including what counts as sameness and similarity, and how these interact with the notions of salience, categorization and derivation, is to be found elsewhere. See Ockelford, ‘On Similarity, Derivation, and the Cognition of Musical Structure’.
