What is Music theory
Did You know?Music theory is a field of study that involves an investigation of the many diverse elements of a music, including the development and methodology for analyzing, hearing, understanding, and composing music. While musicology may include any statement, belief, or conception of or about music, music theory is limited to (1) discussions concerning synchronic (or diachronic) events of a specific composition (or compositions) and (2) abstract music-theoretic issues (e.g., set theory, group theory, tonal tension theory, etc.). A person who practices music theory is a music theorist.
