Transformational Melodic Representation, implied cognitive processes

Abstract

Melody is one of the fundamental elements of tonal music represented by the listener. Its study by comparing analytic and musical comprehension theories allows to deepen the investigation of perception and representation of the musical phenomena. In the present work, different theories are correlated, proposing a new theoretical model named “Transformational Melodic Representation” (TMR). Supported in the creation of a space in which both tonal melody and the listener’s psychological reality exist, established by a transformational model.
