What is "Bored in Brno"? a) the best Czech movie of 2003, b) a blog about Brno (the Czech Republic's second largest city) and my adventures in and observations of south and east Moravia. I usually post about music, arts, culture, and stuff in Brno; or, I talk about whatever; or, I may bore you.

Cue Musicologist Laughter
Schenkerians are to musicology as flowerpots are to the city of London.
Thanks to Jean-Jacques Nattiez for my musicology quote of the day. Courtesy of Music and Discourse: Toward a Semiology of Music, ch. 1.

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.
ehmmm.... I don't get it. :-/
The main goal of Shenkerian analysis
is to put in evidence the importance of tonic and dominant in tonal music.
