Lerdahl's Cognitive Constraints
Groups of constraints have much in common, and influence each other  |  Since groups of the constraints are related, I've put them here topically  |  The constraints tend to deal with: Stability Conditions, Tuning and temperament, Pitch Space  |

ARTICLE: Serialism overview (Princeton)
Ideas inherited by Stockhausen, Pierre Boulez, Heri Pousseur, and other fellow composers in the 1950's from earlier composers and teachers like Arnold Schoenberg Oliver Messiaen and especially Anton von Webern led to the style of compositional experimentation known in the literature as total or integral serialism. |  In ",,how time passes..." ([Stockhausen1957]), Stockhausen frequently speaks of "serial principles", or the application of the "serial system" to a given set of elements of musical material | Yet these principles, and this system, are never defined by him  |

An essay on patterns and groups of transformations in musical composition
An essay on patterns in musical composition transformations, mathematical groups, and the nature of musical substance  | 
Pierre Boulez in conversation with Joshua Cody
Few would have imagined upon hearing the premiere of Pierre Boulez's 1956 work Le Marteau sans maître, a stunningly violent setting of poetry by René Char, that this most iconoclastic of European avant-garde composers would one day be conducting the great orchestras of the world. 
   It is this tension between two personae—on the one hand, the most revolutionary aesthetician since Schoenberg; on the other, a reconciler, the bourgeois apologist for the extremes of the avant-garde—that have made him the most important figure in postwar classical music.

Construal of Musical Process Architecture
We have perhaps become used to certain ways of articulating time in music as composers, performers and listeners.  Principally this is a function of the archetypal forms that we have learnt to manipulate through a variety of technical means.   It is also a function of duration.  Both these elements are central to many of the received structures of musical expression we have learnt and this acceptance is an assumption which needs addressing.   By way of an example, how many single movement pieces lasting over an hour can you name? How many lasting about ten minutes?   |
