Abstract

ABSTRACTThough music is rife with humor, musical humor as a single subject has rarely been discussed in analytical and theoretical terms. This paper discusses the nature and current theories of humor, comparing them to music in broad terms. Specific parallels between music and humor are discussed before delving into musical humor itself. The importance and significance of musical humor as a key factor in the development of the musical arts are explained through the analysis of music in terms of humor theory.
