Grammatical Simplicity and Relational Richness: The Trio of Mozart's G Minor Symphony

me, if not entirely mistaken, at least somewhat confused. Schubert's song, "Das Wandern," cited in that essay as an instance of simplicity, certainly appears to be uncomplicated and straightforward.2 It employs familiar melodic materials, regular rhythmic/metric organization, and normal harmonic progressions. But, as I have shown in a more recent study, the syntactic relationships which arise from these unassuming, conventional means are rich as well as elegant.3 Relational results must, then, be distinguished from material means. When this is done, it is evident that what is essential in the evaluation of music are not the foreground (note-to-note) successions of pitches, durations, harmonies, and other musical parameters but the higher-order patterns created by these palpable means. What is crucial is relational richness, and such richness (or complexity) is in no way incompatible
