| Summary: | This thesis deals, first of all, with the different ways of dividing music space (Chapters I-III). It can be divided into two dimensions ? sound dimension and time dimension. The structure of each dimension can be further divided. In this way, within each dimension will be created various (sound and time) objects, decided either by the concrete structure, or, if the structure cannot be assigned, by an outline describing the shape of the object. Only by combining objects from both dimensions, will types of music objects be created. Those which have no inner order will be called a group. By permutation of the elements of this group, different, precisely organised shapes will be created. Such objects will be called segments (Chapter IV.).
Chapter V. is dedicated to the music objects? operations. All operations are either partial (progressing in the frame of one dimension), or total (simultaneously progressing in both dimensions). Such operations are: transposition, multiplication, inversion, turn, etc.
This knowledge is to be used in the universal method of contemporary music analysis. In this way, the type of the music object and its changes caused by the ?operations? can be defined. As result, it will be possible to assess the structure of the composition as a whole. The information can also be used in the opposite way: as a compositional progression, consisting of creating objects and using them in ?operations?.
