The Society invites the submission of proposals for scholarly papers, poster sessions, and panel discussions on any aspect of music theory, and music of any style, period, or region.

This year, the society especially welcomes proposals for (1) scholarly papers on the life and work of Robert Ottman, and (2) studies exploring methodological issues or analytical applications of Schenkerian theory. Special sessions on any topic also may be proposed. Presentations within special sessions may be in the form of demonstration, panel discussion, lecture-recital, or traditional paper.
