currentmusicology-5178	Haringer, Andrew	Raymond Monelle. 2006. The Musical Topic: Hunt, Military, and Pastoral. Bloomington and Indianapolis: Indiana University Press.	2010	17	.pdf	application/pdf	7961	393	55	l However, it is for his groundbreaking work in musical semiotics, and topic theory in particular, for which Dr. Monelle is most likely to be remem­ bered' and here too he deviated from the norm. It was this judicious blend of a solid foundation and an adventurous spirit that ensured glowing reviews of Monelle's first two books by scholars of such different temperaments as Kofi Agawu (1994) and Susan McClary (2001).1t is therefore surprising that his third and, in my estimation, greatest book-The Musical Topic: Hunt, Military, and Pastoral-met with so little fanfare when it appeared four years ago.2 Modern topic theory owes its beginnings to Leonard Ratner's seminal work, Classic Music (1980).	cache/currentmusicology-5178.pdf	txt/currentmusicology-5178.txt
