- Abstract
David Temperley's book, "The Musical Language of Rock," explores the conventions and language of rock music. Temperley argues that experienced rock listeners unconsciously understand these conventions and can detect deviations from them. The book combines theory and analysis, using musical examples to develop theoretical models. Temperley examines various aspects of rock music, including harmony, emotion, complexity, melody, rhythm, and form. He also considers the historical development of rock and its formal functions. The book offers new insights and perspectives on the musical language of rock.
