This article develops existing models of metric dissonance, most notably that of Harald Krebs, by formalizing them through the calculus of finite differences, thereby introducing a method-ology for quantifying metric dissonance.
Metrical dissonance refers to the coexistence of two or more unaligned metrical layers in a single passage of music. Metrical dissonance can be divided into two types: Displacement dissonance, in which two or more layers with the same meter (or grouping structure) are displaced against each other.
Oct 4, 2000 · Alignment of interpretive layers yields consonance; layers in conflict produce metrical dissonance of two types. Grouping dissonance is formed of the collision of incommensurable layers; displacement dissonance occurs when congruent layers are offset from each other. Example 1 illustrates both types of dissonance and their contextual application.
