		The latter consist of both well-formedness rules, which describe the minimal conditions for an intuitively understandable structure, and preference rules, which correspond to the intuitions that allow a listener to choose the preferred interpretation of the structure from all of the possible ones that conform to the well-formedness rules.
		The distinction between grouping structure and metrical structure is essential to Lerdahl and Jackendoff's conception of musical rhythm.
		The metrical structure, which exists only at levels relatively near the surface, is articulated by the regular hierarchical pattern of metrical accent, a psychological construct extrapolated from (but not necessarily identical to) the patterns of phenomenal accent in the music itself.

		Building on the foundation of Lerdahl and Jackendoff's influential A Generative Theory of Tonal Music, this volume presents a multidimensional model of diatonic and chromatic spaces that quantifies listeners' intuitions of the relative distances of pitches, chords, and keys from a given tonic.
		The model is employed to assign prolongational structure, represent paths through the space, and compute patterns of tension and attraction as musical events unfold, thereby providing a partial basis for understanding musical narration, expectation, and expression.
		"A Generative Theory of Tonal Music by Fred Lerdahl and Ray Jackendoff is one of the most important works in music theory in the last half of the 20th century, and likewise it has taken its place among the foundational texts in music perception and cognition.

	Musical form
		Fred Lerdahl (1992), among others, claims that popular music lacks the structural complexity for multiple structural layers, and thus much depth.
		However, Lerdahl's theories exclude "associational" or intensional details which are used to help articulate form in popular music (Horner and Swiss, 1999).
		Allen Forte's book The American Popular Ballad of the Golden Era 1924-1950 analyses popular music with traditional Schenkerian techniques, but this is only possible because pre-rock popular ballads are the genre most accesible similar to the Romantic music those theories were designed to analyse (Horner and Swiss, 1999).

		Cage continues, "Well, there's this Fred guy down on Earth, nice boy, very creative, and he really wants to write a new piece for this soprano he admires; but it's got to be a bit unusual -- something to spook to old folks with, but still essentially, you know, engaging." Schoenberg raises an eyebrow.
		Fred Lerdahl was born in Madison, Wisconsin in 1943 and began composing at age 15.
		Lerdahl's piece was the "flip side" of the disc, which also featured Milton Babbitt's Philomel.

		In the article, Lerdahl explores the relationship between composing and listening.
		In order to account for what Lerdahl sees as "a huge gap between compositional system and cognized result", he proposes a simplified model of the entire musical process.
		SO, Lerdahl began considering models for composition that take into account how scholars believe people listen to music.
