Abstract

The article is a polemic with the views formulated in 2020 by Philip A. Ewell in the Journal of the Society for Music Theory. His text is a critique of European music theory, mainly as represented in the writings by Heinrich Schenker. Ewell's main claim is that European music theory is based on racist concepts.
