Tchaikovsky Moscow State Conservatory hosted the Second Congress of the Music Theory Society 26–29 September 2015. This year the biennial themed Schools and Trends in Musicology, Composition and Performing Art was occasioned by the 150th anniversary of Moscow P.I. Tchaikovsky Conservatory. It was held in 16 sections (http://www.mosconsv. ru/upload/images/Documents/Events/ program_congress_2015_eng.pdf). Some of the most intriguing papers delivered at the conference were as follows: Natalia Plotnikova (Moscow P.I. Tchaikovsky Conservatory): The Counterpoint of the Russian Baroque: Present-Day Problems of Study; Valentina Kholopova (Moscow P.I. Tchaikovsky Conservatory): Boris Asafiev: Innovations for Centuries to Come; Konstantin Zenkin (Moscow P.I. Tchaikovsky Conservatory): Concerning the Problems and the Semantic Potential of the Concept of ‘Intonation’; Vyacheslav Medushevsky (Moscow P.I. Tchaikovsky Conservatory): The Neuro-Semiotic Aspect of Musical Intonation; Simon Perry (SchoolofMusic,UniversityofQueensland, Australia): Notation, Enharmonicism and ‘Musical-Dramaturgy’ in Musorgsky’s Boris Godunov; David Haas (Hodgson School of Music, University of Georgia, USA): Devices from Bruckner: Toward an Understanding of Their Significance for Shostakovich’s Symphonies. Two traditions clashed in the discussion on Riemann and Schenker in Various National Traditions: the Russian school with their functional theory of traditions, school and trends and that of the American school of music theory, based on Schenker’s works. Most of those involved in the discussion are members of the IMS (International Musicological Society), where such a discussion is also led in absentia, through exchange of articles for instance. Ivan K. Yanakiev, a full-time PhD student at the Institute of Art Studies, BAS, Sofia delivered a paper in the Section of Students and Post-Graduate Students on Concerning the Question of Unequal Temperaments in the 20th Century: the Theory of Maria Renold, part of his doctoral thesis.
