Tonalitysince 1950
Tonality Since 1950 Tonality Since 1950 documents the debate surrounding one of the most basic technical and artistic resources of music in the later 20th century. The obvious flourishing of tonality – a return to key, pitch center, and consonance – in recent decades has undermi- ned received views of its disintegration or collapse ca. 1910, in- tensifying the discussion of music’s acoustical-theoretical bases, and of its broader cultural and metaphysical meanings. While historians of 20th-century music have often marginalized tonal practices, the present volume offers a new emphasis on emergent historical continuities. Musicians as diverse as Hindemith, the Beatles, Reich, and Saariaho have approached tonality from many different angles: as a figure of nostalgic longing, or as a universal law; as a quoted artefact of music’s sedimented stylistic past, or as a timeless harmonic resource. Essays by 15 leading contributors cover a wide repertoire of concert and pop/rock music composed Tonal in Europe and America over the past half-century.

Introduction
Introduction Felix Wörner, Ullrich Scheideler, and Philip Rupprecht To speak of tonality is less to point by ostensive definition to an object, than to en- gage in a language-game. The word catches at our most familiar musical experi- ences of pitch and harmony, and yet the concept evades univocal meaning.1 Tovey’s quip about tonality – “a thing which you can no more describe except by metaphors and comparisons than you can describe the taste of a peach”2 – encapsulates its re- sistance to language. Whether or not tonality constitutes a sharply-defined category or merely a verbal sign for facets of music’s time-bound arc, it remains central to the shared discourse of composers, performers, and listeners. As a concept, tonality appears perennially caught between the acoustical and the metaphysical, between sonic realities and mediating contingencies of culture. The difficulty, in a sense, is with tonality’s very familiarity: behind the “second nature” of its conventional in- variance, as Adorno observed, lie the sedimented layers of history.3 It is through historical framing, likewise, that one begins to narrow down the conceptual field of view, by defining tonality, for example, as a type of “key-feeling” that succeeded earlier periods of modal polyphony; or (with greater precision of chronology) by recognizing a musical phenomenon that flourished between circa 1600 and circa 1910.4 As our title makes clear, it is the chronological limits of such definitions that we deliberately challenge in Tonality Since 1950. 1 On meaning in definitions versus language-games, see Ludwig Wittgenstein, Philosophical Investigations, trans. -

Accordingly, he based IRCAM on the model of a scientific research institute with difFerent specialists pooling their expertise.
