Harald Krebs is an internationally renowned music theorist. In his writings, he sheds light on neglected repertoires, such as the songs of 19th-century female composers and the late music of Robert Schumann. Particularly influential is his model of musical meter, created primarily for analysis of 17th- to 19th-century tonal music, but subsequently employed by numerous music theorists in the explication of diverse recent musics, including jazz, rock and techno.

Particulièrement influent est son modèle du mètre musical, créé principalement pour l’analyse de la musique des 17e, 18e et 19e siècles, mais par la suite utilisé par nombreux théoriciens pour l’explication de diverses musiques plus récentes, comprenant jazz, rock, et techno.
