Reply to Ryan McClelland's Article "Teaching Phrase Ryhthm through Minuets from Haydn's String Quartets," vol. 20, 2006

Abstract

In his article "Teaching Phrase Rhythm through Minuets from Haydn's String Quartets," Ryan McClelland includes an extensive reference to my presentation on hypermeter in chapter 11 of my textbook, Harmony in Context (New York: McGraw-Hill, 2003). I appreciate Prof. McClelland's attention to my work, as well as his own presentation on the pedagogy of phrase rhythm. I would like to provide commentaries to some particular points in his discussion of my chapter 11.
