  • More about Form vs. Work: A Major Antinomy of Music Theory and Analysis

The antinomy of musical work and musical form has been a central issue in music theory for centuries, with musical work being complete and all-inclusive, while musical form is self-sufficient and epistemologically sovereign. This book offers an insiders view of the latter from both Western and Russian perspectives, with previously unpublished materials.

This book provides a comprehensive historical overview and analytical discourse on this antinomy, exploring it from both Western and Russian perspectives.
