DESCRIPTION:This thesis investigates the relation 
 between language and Western classical music. It a
 rgues that the linguistic notions of syntax,discou
 rse, and quotation are relevant for an understandi
 ng of this musical style. It also observes that bo
 th music and language display hierarchical structu
 res that may be described as recursive. This persp
 ective allows the theorist to reduce complexity to
  underlying uniformity – but it may also give rise
  to false abstractions, and to theoretical constru
 cts of dubious explanatory value. This is observed
  in the musical theories of Hugo Riemann, Heinrich
  Schenker, and, most recently, Lerdahl & Jackendof
 f, as well as in Noam Chomsky's linguistic Minimal
 ism.  For more information, consult Lodewijk Muns
