Style is a dimension of a musical work which we experience every day. However, as familiar as it may be, it does not follow that, musicologically speaking, we have a deep understanding of it. The Rules of Music is a ground-breaking work in our field because its authors have completely absorbed all contemporary research in the domains of analysis, style analysis, semiotics and cognitive approaches.
From there, they go on to adopt personal and original positions which set them apart. Their achievement also lies in the fact that they had the judiciousness to set out to master a realistic corpus, which is not to say an easy one to analyse.
