Abstract

The aim of this paper is to approach a Semantology of Musicwhich is understood as the theory and methodology of musical semantic structures. The analysis of music structures is based on a threefold semantics which is performed on the musical level, the abstract philosophic-logical level, and the hypothetical mathematical level. Basic music structures are discussed by examples, in particular: tone systems, chords, harmonies, scales, modulations, musical time flow, and music forms. A specific concern of this paper is to clarify how a Semantology of Music may support the understanding of music.
