    1] At colleges and universities across North America, online education is a topic that has generated a significant amount of discussion in the past year or so. In many ways, the idea of online education is only the most recent version of something that got its start in the nineteenth century: the correspondence course. (1) The development of radio and television in the twentieth century, and then the rise of the internet over the last twenty year…

  • Echolyn and American progressive rock

    John CovachARTICLEContemporary Music Review2000Cited by: 2References: 3

    Beginning in the late 1960s and continuing through most of the 1970s, British progressive-rock groups developed a style of music that privileged long, complicated pieces, employing a wide variety of musical techniques and features drawn from classical music. While the leading progressive rock groups were British, progressive-rock groups also formed in the United States. This study provides an overview of American progressive-rock bands since 1966…

Building on the notion of musical worlding introduced in that essay, I explore Schoenberg's turn to atonality in the period of 1908 and after. I argue that Schoenberg employs atonality as a means of disrupting tonality in order to create an "other" world; this otherness is created by opening up a tension between the world of the "great German tonal masterworks" and …

  • Destructuring Cartesian Dualism in Musical Analysis

    Open AccessJohn CovachARTICLEMusic Theory Online1994Cited by: 1

    The following study represents work-in-progress. In this preliminary study I will explore the topic of subject-object dualism as it arises in musical analysis.

I will argue that Heidegger's critique of Rene Descartes' systematic reduction of intellectual certainty to a fundamental "first fact o…
