Abstract

As mentioned in the introduction, the perhaps defining feature of the etudes of Book 3 is the restricting of the gamut of PCs used at any one time, as opposed to the freer chromatic saturation of his previous piano etudes. There is perhaps no more radical example of this than Etude 15, White on White, which for the majority of its duration does not stray at all from the white-note set—and the few black notes that do appear towards the end of the piece come across as specks of pepper in a sea of salt.

Fußnoten
1
For a discussion of the tonal implications of the diatonic set see Browne (1981) and Gauldin (1983), as well as Clough (1979), Egmond and Butler (1997), and Santa (2000).
 
2
Namely, as opposed to Tymoczko’s use—see the discussion on page 21.
 
3
Many of the graphs are shown in landscape orientation for better readability, where these axes are thus flipped at 90°.
 
4
Letters for sets with vertical bars around them (i.e. |S| and |Sn|) represent the cardinality of those sets/subsets.
 
5
When using radians, 2π = 360°, meaning that 30° = π/6.
 
6
This is also explained, though in somewhat different terms, by Quinn’s Multiplication Principle: “on Fourier Balance n, the PC p is located at (n*p) o’clock, where n and p are integers modulo 12 and should be multiplied accordingly” (Quinn 2007, 36).
