Ars Subtilior

Kennzeichnend für die Ars subtilior im späten 14. Jahrhundert sind die im Vergleich zur Ars nova größere Bandbreite an verschiedenen Notenwerten, die Gleichzeitigkeit verschiedener Mensuren in den einzelnen Stimmen und die damit in engem Zusammenhang stehende manierierte Notation. In der rhythmischen Konstruktion der Étude pour piano Nr. 2 - <Cordes Vides> von György Ligeti entsteht durch die vielfältige Kombination einfacher Konfliktrhythhmen ein hohes Maß an Komplexität, wobei die Möglichkeiten einer Rezeption der Techniken der Ars subtilior sichtbar werden. Die Notierung verschiedener Mensuren in den beiden Händen im traditionellen Notationssystem erlaubt es, die Gleichzeitigkeit verschiedener Geschwindig-keitsschichten für einen einzelnen Interpreten spielbar zu machen.

Early Establishment

Medieval English music theory, almost always expressed in Latin, though not isolated from Continental—in particular French—developments, has a strong tendency to resist them and go its own way in both language and content; moreover, despite the early establishment of the name proprius cantus (‘properchant’) for the natural hexachord, it is more characteristically marked by divergence from one writer to another, so that even when doctrines are compatible the same thing may be called by different names and the same name may be applied to different things. This chapter studies the variations in conception, notation, and terminology exhibited in the works of numerous English authors from the 13th to the 16th centuries, noting differences from the far more standardised French Ars nova associated with the names of Philippe de Vitry and Jean des Murs.
