That goes without saying. Unless you have specific suggestions or complaints... Hyacinth (talk) 11:29, 24 December 2008 (UTC)Reply

The article in French for this topic is extensive, perhaps something of a translation might be attempted? --60.241.95.185 (talk) 15:27, 31 October 2010 (UTC)Reply

Find this article edit

An example of music semiology is Grace Kingsbury Muzzo's deconstruction of the work of Arvo Pärt's compositions in "The Tintinnabuli Technique of Arvo Pärt into the Twenty-First Century."

The above was removed as being particularly hard to find. Hyacinth (talk) 07:51, 1 April 2009 (UTC)Reply

Article title edit

I'd propose that the title of this article be changed to "Musical semiotics". This would make it consistent with basically all English-language literature on the subject (and on semiotics in general), with the most notable exception being Abbate's translation of Nattiez. The term "semiotics" was standardised internationally in the 1960s.[1][2] The term "semiology" is typically only used in French-language scholarship (as "sémiologie") and even there the term "sémiotique" appears common. basswaster (talk) 07:07, 23 April 2017 (UTC)Reply
