  2. If you focus on the tunes, and the phrases. You may be understanding the piece in a Schönbergian approach, called the PHRASE ANALYSIS

  3. If you focus on the slow-fast, or the quiet-loud organization, you may be understanding the piece in a Ernst Kurth’s approach, called the TENSION-THEORY AND STRUCTURE LAYER in music analysis

  4. PHRASE ANALYSIS let you see – in objective ways – how the elements of music are organized. But this objective picture can be varied in one way, or another in real-time performance.

  5. Tension theoryallows us to see more into the music than mere noting how tunes are structured; how the harmonies are varied; how the music is organized, etc. It is useful to inform us the differences when the same pieces are played in a variety of ways. Benefit from wave-editing software, Kurth’s tension theory can be a powerful tool for aural analysis
