CAPLIN, William, Schulich School of Music, McGill University
William Caplin's revival of the study of musical form has transformed our understanding- and hearing - of how classical music is organized. His theories provide novel methodologies for musical analysis that have had a significant impact on music scholarship and pedagogy. As a historian of music theory, Caplin is a leader in the domains of rhythm and harmony; he also contributes to topic theory, schema theory, and music perception and cognition.

La relance Caplinienne de l'étude de la forme musicale a transformé la compréhension - et l'écoute - de l'organisation de la musique classique. Ses théories génèrent des méthodologies analytiques marquant profondément la recherche et l'enseignement musicaux. Également historien de la théorie musicale, Caplin est leader dans l'étude du rythme et de l'harmonie; il contribue aussi à la théorie des topiques et des schémas, et à la perception et cognition musicales.
