It is also a proposal for a new method of analysing the construction of his musical masterpieces (for example a proposal of new formal sound-units: partons with perceptual invariance), a method in-spired by research into cognitive psychology. Furthermore, in the analysis of Stravinsky’s music, the author emphasises its connection with the Eastern and Western traditions of European culture and links with Plato’s triad of values.Eastern European studies in musicology ;Volume 19.Theory of music & musicologybicsscHistory: specific events & topicsbicsscCriticism, interpretation, etc.fasthistory of musicJarzebskaMusicmusic analysismusical aestheticsmusical psychologynew musicserial musicStravinskiStravinskyThoughtsTheory of music & musicologyHistory: specific events & topics780.924Jarzębska Alicja1064655Davidson Lindsay1973-1033071MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910508710103321Stravinsky2539996UNINA
