Abstract: T his paper is frankly tentative, proposing that a combination of several previous ideas and approaches to musical change constitutes, with one addition, a framework for constructing rough topographies of the potential of musical systems for change. Topographies can give us a basis for not only diachronic but also cross-cultural musical comparison, while allowing maximum freedom in the description and analysis of particular music cultures.
