The Melodic Organization of The Rite of Spring
Most previous analytical studies of The Rite of Spring have focused on its harmony and rhythm. This article shifts attention to its melodies—mostly short fragments that move repetitively within a narrow registral frame—and shows that they take on expressive meanings closely linked with the work’s dramatic scenario. In addition to operating in the manner of Wagnerian leitmotivs in relation to characters or dramatic situations, they are often bound…

Music represents disability in various ways and affirms the notion that dis…
Intellectual Property Rights: Ethical Aspects
Total Voice Leading
The total voice leading between sets X and Y is defined as the complete collection of ordered pc intervals formed between the pcs in X and the pcs in Y. These interval multisets (imultisets) describe the sonic signature of the motion from X to Y, and they always have the property of transpositional combination. In some cases, the same total voice leading may be produced by different pairs of X and Y (Cohn 1988 refers to this as "multiple parentag…
Three Stravinsky Analyses: Petrushka, Scene 1 (to Rehearsal No. 8);The Rake's Progress, Act III, Scene 3 ("In a foolish dream");Requiem Canticles, "Exaudi
Most published work in our field privileges theory over analysis, with analysis acting as a subordinate testing ground and exemplification for a theory. Reversing that customary polarity, this article analyzes three works by Stravinsky (Petrushka, The Rake's Progress, Requiem Canticles) with a relative minimum of theoretical preconceptions and with the simple aim, in David Lewin's words, of "hearing the piece[s] better
The Impact of the New World Order on Economic Development: The Role of the Intellectual Property Rights System
Since the establishment of the World Trade Organization, one of its pillars, the TRIPs Agreement, has been exposed to strong criticism. The main objection being that TRIPs works against the interest of the developing world. This criticism will be examined against the empirical data showing the actual economic development in developing countries, with a special focus on China and India. As those data reveal, the developing countries are to be view…
