Rhythm & Meter in Sigfrid Karg-Elertʼs Work
Abstract
Sigfrid Karg-Elert is well known as a polaristic theorist who adhered more closely to the theory of A. v. Oettingen than Riemann did. Alongside his theoretical works about harmony, Karg-Elert also aimed to deal with musical elements such as form, rhythm and meter. But these attempts convey no more than sketches and airy hints.
