Analytical Musicology & the Piano: Papers of Nigel Nettheim and Others

Analytical Musicology & the Piano:
Papers of Nigel Nettheim and Others

This site is concerned with music (mainly classical, mainly piano) and musicology (mainly analytical).
A few other areas are touched upon too.

Quick definitions: Musicology is the academic study of music. Its three main branches (somewhat overlapping) are: historical musicology, ethnomusicology and analytical musicology. The latter is concerned with relations among the notes of musical scores and, where possible, the significance of those relations.

A NOTE TO THE READER:

This web site was transferred from an earlier one that began on 11 March 2000 and will end on 30 September 2009: http://users.bigpond.net.au/nettheim . I will be very glad to be informed of any problems accessing this new site (email can be sent as indicated above).

Intended steps:
1. Make no further updates on the old site.
2. Transfer the files. In many cases they have been renamed (the original names were influenced by the DOS operating system that was current when the earlier site was started and that limited filenames to 8 characters with an extension of 3 characters). In some cases the system of folders has been changed too. Completed 16 August 2009.

Further steps intended are:

3. Update the coding to ensure validation and to anticipate partly the coming standard HTML5.
4. Provide image scans of many items presently provided only in transcribed (editable/searchable) text, to allow readers to check the accuracy of the transcription and to see the original layout.
5. Add new documentary material, including a large amount about Pachmann.
6. Provide a number of new musicological resources which will be announced later.

The old site has had many visits as of 4 July 2009, including: home page, 10012; Pachmann index, 10482; Pallottelli article on Pachmann, 822; Review of Mitchell book, 692; Preliminary review of Mitchell book, 558; Pachmann sound file, 443. There had been a still earlier site at users.bigpond.com/N.Nettheim, starting 8 December 1999.
