[Smt-talk] Last Reply to Prof. Vaisala

As a matter of fact, I do believe that "prolongation of rules" always is 
what Schenker means by "prolongation", which is not a common term in 
German. This is not at all confined to Kontrapunkt. The term he used for 
what is described as "prolongation" by American schenkerians is 
"Auskomponierung". So far as I can tell, the shift of meaning is in 
"Structural Hearing" by Felix Salzer.

See "Prolongation" in Wikipedia.

(In the University Paris-Sorbonne, everyone is president of something, 
or director of something else – an army of generals. We either use our 
Christian name, or, mockingly, "M. le Président", "M. le Directeur"; a 
"Professeur" without any other title is not worth adressing to. ;-))
