This work presents a theory of musical duration. Drawing on insights from modern process philosophy, it advances a fully temporal perspective in which metre is released from its mechanistic connotations and recognized as a concrete, visceral agent of musical expression. Part I of the book reviews oppositions of law and freedom, structure and process, determinacy and indeterminacy in the speculations of theorists from the 18th century to the present. Part II reinterprets these contrasts to form an account of metre that engages diverse musical repertories and aesthetic issues.
