Types of Analysis

When analyzing some of the music of the 20th -21st century, the same methods used for common practice music (e.g., roman numeral analysis) may not reveal much about the music. Therefore, other types of analysis are used.

On the following pages, the following types of analytical processes will be introduced.

Jazz/pop symbols
Linear analysis
LaRue Style analysis (SHMRG)
Set theory analysis
12-tone analysis

An overview of each of these types of analysis is in the following modules.
