Yet the term is important both historically and for the present day. A…[Read more]

A close-reading analysis of a scene in Musorgsky’s Khovanshcina leads to identifying a “musical tropes”—the musical metaphor termed as the “musical synecdoche.” The musical metaphor requires a more creative or integrative act on the part of the listener, one that leads to an emergent meaning—and probably a more complex meaning.
