“…Patrick Dinslage (2001) has therefore claimed that possible connections between Grieg's studies in music theory and the development of his harmonic style may have been overlooked. His studies in Leipzig in 1858–1862 gave Grieg a thorough education in theory that was heavily concentrated on counterpoint (Utne‐Reitan 2018a and 2018b). In this article I shall not attempt to draw a causal link between Grieg's counterpoint exercises and his harmonic style.…”

Schematic Deformation: Systematic Linearity in Grieg's ‘Takk’ and Other Lyric Pieces

This article presents an analysis of Grieg's lyric piece ‘Takk’ (‘Gratitude’), focusing on the B section of the piece. In that section Grieg makes use of a harmonic progression that is difficult to explain vertically (i.e. in terms of functional harmony). However, it may be explained as a result of play with chromatic voice‐leading patterns. The progression in question – which is saturated with half‐diminished chords – shares several formal characteristics with the well‐known omnibus progression. It is thus argued that ‘Takk’ features a deformation of this chromatic voice‐leading schema. The progression in question (called x) has the same sequential possibilities as the omnibus, which helps reveal an underlying logic in the complex structure of the piece's B section. Grieg's omnibus deformation in ‘Takk’ is an excellent example of how he chose to structure formal sections based on underlying systematic linearity. A comparison of ‘Takk’ with other lyric pieces sheds light on some regularities regarding systematic linearity in Grieg's music, for instance in the form of schematic deformation.

Music Theory Pedagogy in the Nineteenth Century

What characterized conservatory music theory pedagogy in nineteenth-century Europe? This article discusses the traditions of music theory pedagogy associated with the conservatories in Paris, Vienna, and Leipzig, specifically focusing on the middle of the nineteenth century (ca. 1830–70). In the first section, the characteristics of the three individual traditions are discussed separately. The second section compares these traditions from three perspectives: theoretical framework, pedagogical approach, and historical legacy. Although the traditions are different on several central points (e.g., ties to Italian partimento pedagogy in Paris, to Ramellian fundamental bass in Vienna, and to Weberian Roman numeral analysis in Leipzig), they also have some fundamental similarities that drew the borders—the defining limits—of conservatory music theory. The author argues that in the nineteenth century the idea of music theory as a primarily written discipline (centered on textbooks and written exercises and largely separated from musical performance) became a central element of these general characteristics of music theory pedagogy that would be taken for granted and accepted as self-evident across institutional traditions.
