Maury Yeston addresses the scarcity of rhythmic theory in musicology by examining rhythm through the lens of sounded music rather than traditional notation or metrical poetry. Drawing upon the analytical methodologies of Heinrich Schenker, Yeston explores the complex, often ambiguous relationship between rhythm and pitch. This work establishes a rigorous framework for understanding tonal music by analyzing the structural interactions between different rhythmic and pitch levels.
