 The Tinsel-Town Follies, by Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr. (Dec. 26, 1999)
Riemann laid down the principle, that the measurable form of action connecting two successive points in a physical process, can not be derived from a deductive mathematics, but must be established by a type of physical experiment which he defined as unique.
What Riemann's 1854 habilitation dissertation did, on this account, was, first of all, to outlaw all so-called self-evident assumptions of mathematics, such as those of schoolbook Euclidean geometry, from physical science.
From the standpoint of the mathematical physics of Gauss and Riemann, the physical universe, considered as a whole, is what is called variously a "multiply-connected manifold," or "hypergeometry." The two terms, used in that context, mean the same thing.

True to his time, Riemann attempted to establish a harmonic theory on acoustical and physiological grounds.
Riemann's role in the history of music psychology is not well documented probably because his contributions were scattered over an uncommonly prolific and varied publishing career.
Riemann initially used the Table to summarize acoustic relations, but by the end of his career it had become a psychological hypothesis underlying a complex and idiosyncratic theory of harmony.

 Hugo Riemann and the Birth of Modern Musical Thought - Cambridge University Press   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Generally acknowledged as the most important German musicologist of his age, Hugo Riemann (1849—1919) shaped the ideas of generations of music scholars, not least because his work coincided with the institutionalisation of academic musicology around the turn of the last century.
By situating Riemann’s musical thought within turn-of-the-century discourses about the natural sciences, German nationhood and modern technology, this book reconstructs the cultural context in which Riemann’s ideas not only ‘made sense’ but advanced an understanding of the tonal tradition as both natural and German.
Riemann’s musical thought - from his considerations of acoustical properties to his aesthetic and music-historical views - thus regains the coherence and cultural urgency that it once possessed.

Riemann further explains that, in comparison to the predominance of text over melody in ancient-Greek vocal music, early Christian plainsong developed a greater independence of melody whereby melody formed the firm basis to which text had to adapt.
As Riemann further comments, in his view, sequences are thus not strophic chants such as hymns, and also do not have a constantly same line length and also do not employ the rhyme.
Riemann concludes this topic by pointing out that the sequences became extremely popular, yet retained their subordinate liturgical role, so that the core of liturgy, the old chorale, remained untouched.

 Tonality   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Hugo Riemann (n.d.) defined tonality as, "the special meaning [functions] that chords receive through their relationship to a fundamental sonority, the tonic triad."
At the same time the elaboration of both the fugue and the sonata form in terms of key relationships becomes more rigorous, and the study of harmonic progressions, voice leading and ambiguity of key becomes more precise.
Theorists such as Edward Lowinsky, Hugo Riemann, and others pushed the date at which modern tonality began, and the cadence began to be seen as the definitive way that a tonality is established in a work of music (Judd, 1998).

 Aspects of Early Major-Minor Tonality: Chapter 1   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
In this sense it means "exhibiting the characteristics of tonality." The use of tone and its cognates in various western languages as a synonym for key or mode, particularly prevalent in English in the 16th and 17th centuries, may be the basis for this usage.
The conflict would seem to be between the desire to create a theory that is all-encompassing versus the willingness to accept a theory limited in scope to a more narrowly defined body of literature and to allow for multiple theories when necessary.
Their argument would be that such a restriction would reduce the value of the music of the Renaissance and earlier to that of being a precursor to major-minor tonality.

 "MUSIKALISCHE LOGIK": HUGO RIEMANN'S DEBUT AS A MUSIC THEORIST   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Drawing on my translation of Riemann's first essay, as well as portions of his dissertation, I shall trace the nature and extent of his early allegiance to the music theory of Moritz Hauptmann.
It is well known that Riemann was influenced by Hauptmann's Die Natur der Harmonik und Metrik (1853) in the years leading up to the dissertation; but his efforts to gain intellectual independence during this period have received little attention.
I shall conclude by speculating on evidence that suggests the presence of external pressures on Riemann which may have hastened his shift away from Hauptmann's theoretical system.

 Defended Dissertations   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
The main contributors to this pioneering work, Hermann von Helmholtz (1821–1894), Carl Friedrich Stumpf (1848–1936), Hugo Riemann (1849–1919), and Ernst Kurth (1886–1946), shared a common concern for music in the mind, but proposed different theories of musical hearing.
The present study identifies the central concepts of each theory and the complex network of influence among these four scholars through whom the principal notions were developed, by examining them within the cultural and historical context of the period from 1863 to 1931.
Despite the subtle but significant differences that have emerged in the course of this examination, however, these theories were all concerned with the central and still ongoing question of music theory—that is, what "musical hearing" is and how music theory should deal with it.

 Functional concepts of Musical Form   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
The concept of the functional in musicology is traditionally related, first of all, to the theory of tonal and harmonic functions created by Hugo Riemann and more thoroughly developed in the works of his numerous followers.
Today, with systemic research became one of the leading trends in scientific methodology, the concepts of function and structure have acquired a wider meaning applicable to the realm of music.
Among the researchers that have approached some aspects of this theory are Riemann, E. Prout, Kurth, and Fischer, and in Russia S. Taneev, G. Katuar, and V. Yavorsky.

 Alexander Rehding, Emmanuel College, Cambridge: "Listening for Undertones   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
The theoretical approach to tonal music known as harmonic dualism, represented chiefly by the German 19th-century trio of Arthur von Oettingen, Moritz Hauptmann and particularly Hugo Riemann, has been thoroughly exorcised by 20th-century music theorists.
The coup de grace was delivered to harmonic dualism after Riemann proclaimed that the minor triad could be traced back to an "undertone series" in the same manner as the major triad was commonly related to the overtone series.
Most critics have satisfied themselves with insisting that harmonic dualism is wrong, on the basis that the "undertone series" has been found to be an acoustical impossibility.

part from Richard Strauss, Gustav Mahler, Hugo Wolf or Arnold Schoenberg most German composers of the period around 1900 have for long been largely forgotten.
After studies with the famous music theoretician Hugo Riemann (1890 1895) Reger suffered in consequence of his military service and of professional setbacks a nervous and material breakdown and returned in 1898 to the parental home.
There Reger's productivity increased enormously until he was able to persuade his family in 1901 to move to Munich where he expected more musical stimulation than in the Upper Palatinate.

However, before he took his first teaching job, he met the eminent musicologist Hugo Riemann, who was so impressed by Reger's talent that he urged him to devote himself entirely to music.
Reger enrolled at the Sonderhausen Conservatory where he studied under Riemann; he then followed his teacher to Wiesbaden (where it is said his drinking habits began).
After holding some minor posts, he became Music Director of the Leipzig University (1907) and Professor of composition at the Leipzig Conservatory - a post he retained to the end of his short life.

From Mozart's fermatas and decorative patterns surrounding them, through Beethoven's imperious but planned liberties and oddities, this yearning for freedom runs to Liszt's "gypsy mannerisms," and to Chopin's wonderful ornamentation and characteristically Polish rubato.
For Chopin the bar-line was, Paderewski says, "like the oppressive yoke of a foreign government."[11] Its misdeeds have been denounced by some musicologists, while others, like Riemann, have tried to displace it, for better or worse, with a view at "phraseism."[12] Accents often contradict and phrases overlap the bar-line.
