Summary
The categories ObLoc and Loc are representations of local objects, i.e., of objects that are not composed of proper “parts”. However, music mainly deals with compound objects. The adequate concept of a global composition is defined. The corresponding vocabulary of elementary global music objects is described, including ecclesiastical modes, tridadic degrees, meters, rhythms, motives and themes.
⋯bei der Bestimmung der Groβform wirkt über den ganzen Eingliederungsprozeβhinweg die gleiche Denkweise, und zwar von der morphologischen Mikrostruktur bis zur rhetorischen Makrostruktur.
Pierre Boulez [138, II, p.60]
