Watching the "Unanswered Question" - Lecture 2
Bernstein talks on connecting syntax to Chomsky's universal grammar, showing how language become structures. He brings this to transpositions, augmentation, and deletion in music, while continuing to bring back the comparison of music to language. Bernstein clearly highlights many of these connections in music and language, many of which aren't much touched on. Like language, music can be transformed and basic structure is the building blocks of each. Next lecture is on musical semantics, something we covered a lot in Mahler's works. See you then!
