Review title: The shotgun approach to deep musical structure
Product review: A pompous and confused application of category theory to music.The math is advanced, and so is the obscurity of the encyclopedic and voluminous prose. This is a pity, since Mazzola makes a number of fascinating and deep observations. Fighting through the dense, barely edited, text to find these gems, however, is an activity best left to the most masochistic of PhD candidates in music theory, especially given the heft and price of the book.
