This study delves into the realm of linear thinking within the context of music analysis. The introduction sets the stage by discussing the background of linear thinking in music analysis, outlining the study's objectives, and posing research questions. The theoretical framework establishes a clear definition of linear thinking in music analysis, elucidating its relationship with music theory and its role in various music analysis .The historical overview section traces the early development of linear thinking in music analysis, highlighting influential theorists and their contributions to this analytical .It also explores the evolution of linear thinking in music analysis over time. Contemporary to linear thinking in music analysis are thoroughly examined, encompassing analytical techniques that emphasize linear thinking and presenting case studies that illustrate the practical application of such .This section also acknowledges critiques and limitations associated with linear thinking in music analysis. A pivotal component of this study involves the comparative analysis of linear and non-linear thinking in music analysis, shedding light on the advantages and disadvantages of each. It explores possibilities for the integration of both linear and non-linear thinking in music analysis methodologies.
