Editorial policies

Area of interest

The Rivista di Analisi e Teoria Musicale is a peer-reviewed journal founded in 1994 by the research association GATM – Gruppo di Analisi e Teoria Musicale.

It publishes articles, in both Italian and English, on analytical aspects of musical repertories and practices from all historical periods, genres, styles and geographic areas. Special attention is given to crossovers between theory, aesthetics and hermeneutics; the history of music theory and the study of creative processes; performance practices and their analysis; the dynamics of listening and the contribution offered by the cognitive sciences to interpreting musical experience.

The journal contains original articles that stand out for the broad scope of their critical perspective and the inclusiveness of their sources; it furthermore includes a section dedicated to short articles on the didactics of analysis, and a section for reviews.


In addition to welcoming proposals by scholars, the journal promotes the publication of thematic issues dedicated to theoretical and methodological questions with particular significance within the panorama of international research.
