It depends upon the component you want to study in a musical performance. Different components and the objectives of the study will define the use of the methods. Bohdan Syroyid Syroyid

Dear Samidha Vedabala

Many thanks for your reply. Of course, let's be more specific. I would be interested in studying the performance of pauses and silences and their influence in the surrounding music. I would like to hear your point of view on that.

Best wishes,

Bohdan

Having watched this video, I now find it difficult to analyze popular music without applying the tools and processes he presents here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_DPeZv8OvA&ab_channel=SocietyforMusicAnalysis

Dear Daniel Lee

Many thanks for sharing this resource. It is rather interesting to watch the discussion of Allan Moore. I would like to ask you if you have some more specific input on music performance.

Best wishes,

Bohdan

Hi Bohdan Syroyid Syroyid

I'm glad you enjoyed Allan Moore's musicology. I find it a valuable way to think about popular music. As a Jazz musician myself I tend to analyze improvisations by looking at each phrase and working out what the musician was thinking. Here's an example of how I do that.

And here's an interesting example of analyzing pop music that I saw at a music conference in Huddersfield a few years ago.
