    Thomas Noll
    23/06/2026, 19:00

    The concept of the well-formed scale has been a classic paradigm within mathematical music theory for more than three decades. This keynote address traces its subsequent structural and theoretical developments since our inaugural conference in 2007.
    By indexing the seven pitches of the diatonic scale both by fifths and by step intervals, one obtains a permutation of the integers from 0 to...

  26. 46. Keynote by Noam Elkies: Canonical Forms and Transformations
    Noam Elkies
    24/06/2026, 19:00

    We review the problem of constructing musical canons, and the standard recursive technique for constructing them given a criterion of harmonic consonance. We then illustrate how symmetries and near-symmetries of the consonance relation help composers create canons that go beyond counterpoint exercises to serve as structural and expressive tools.
