Special session on Music Analysis in Italian Conservatoires In addition to the above proposals on free topics, this year the Conference intends to devote a special session to the theme Perspectives of development and innovation of theoretical-analytical studies in Italian Conservatoires. The reform law of Italian conservatories is requiring new ways of thinking about theoretical and analytical disciplines, with a strong stance towards the implementation of educational paths much more focused on the students’ cultural growth. To this aim, those interested are invited to submit proposals related to one or more of the followings aspects:

1. Current State, purposes, and contents of music theory and analysis within the present-day teaching programmes;

2. Experiences of educational and methodological innovations; 3. Research experiences in music theory and analysis; 4. Relationships of music theory and analysis with musicology, performance, and composition.

Proposals should be submitted in one of the following categories: • Individual or co-authored papers; • Panel sessions (containing from three to four papers); • Lecture-recitals.

Each proposal, written in Italian or English, must include an abstract of no more than 500 words, clearly expressing research goals, applied methodology, and interest as regards the current state of knowledge. Session-panel proposals, submitted by a convenor, should provide a detailed multi-viewpoint discussion on a theoretical and/or analytical subject and must also include, in addition to a session summary of no more than 500 words, a separate abstract of no more than 350 words for each paper. Lecture-recital proposals should summarize the analysis of the work/s to be performed, with a particular emphasis on the relation between analysis and performance, also through possible analytical annotations on the attached score/s.
