Cue Musicologist Laughter
Schenkerians are to musicology as flowerpots are to the city of London.

A graduate student in music and anthropology writing a dissertation about music in Moravia, the eastern third of the Czech Republic. At some point, the Czech Republic's "second city" (that would be Brno) captured my attention, and I've since been blogging about events, arts, music, and other stuff—basically whatever interests me in and around the cityscape. I'm not living in Brno now, but I keep up with the cultural pulse from afar as best I can.
Comments:
Nattiez must be joking... but then I'm not quite sure what flowerpots are to London. Ornamental? Unnecessary? Vitally needed?
I don't think, mind you, that the other significant musicologist in my life is doing Schenkerian analysis just now. Or has in several years.

The main goal of Shenkerian analysis
is to put in evidence the importance of tonic and dominant in tonal music.
