[Menvi-discuss] post-tonal theory/braille music?

[Tina Davidson]

Hi Dave,
I've transcribed selections from the Roig-Francolf "Anthology of Post-Tonal
Music" for a university and the music is transcribed like any other braille
music -- it's your analysis of the music that is the hard part! Jeff is
right, it's best to find out exactly what pieces your professor will be
using and get the music transcribed in advance of your classes.

Subject: [Menvi-discuss] post-tonal theory/braille music?

Hi List,

It appears that I am going to be taking a post-tonal (20th century) 
theory course next semester. It's required, can't get out of it. I'm 
wondering if anyone has either a. transcribed any post-tonal music or b. 
knows anyone who works in the field of 20th century music and is blind 
or has taught a blind student. Braille music was obviously not meant to 
represent sets of pitch classes, but has there been some sort of way to 
deal with serialism and tone rows and the like? I know that there is 
Nymeth code for working with a matrix but I used it only once years ago. 
I have not seen the Joseph Straus post-tonal theory book in braille but 
do have a copy of it in pdf from the publisher.  Any help or suggestions 
about this topic are greatly appreciated.
