The Oxford Handbook of Musical Variation

The Oxford Handbook of Musical Variation offers new research into what is arguably the most fundamental and essential musical process. Over forty-two chapters, the book offers new insights into variational workings in music from Corelli to jazz, and in both instrumental and vocal music. Throughout, the chapters also explore new ways of thinking about musical form, rhythm and meter, harmony, expression and narrative, music cognition, and pedagogy through variation.
