The Unanswered Question I : Musical Phonology (1976)

Overview

This series comprised six lectures on music, which cumulatively took the title of a work by Charles Ives, The Unanswered Question. Bernstein drew analogies to other disciplines, such as poetry, aesthetics, and especially linguistics, hoping to make these lectures accessible to an audience with limited or no musical experience, while maintaining an intelligent level of discourse: Phonology is the linguistic study of sounds, or phonemes. Bernstein's application of this term to music results in what he calls "musical phonology".

Center

Primary

The film's central subject matter, musical phonology, is an academic and artistic discipline inherently devoid of political valence, leading to a neutral rating as it focuses on objective inquiry rather than ideological promotion.

This film, focused on the academic subject of musical phonology, is assessed as having light DEI characteristics. Its nature precludes traditional roles for explicit DEI-driven casting, and its narrative does not engage with critiques of traditional identities.

Secondary

This film is the first part of Leonard Bernstein's Harvard lecture series, "The Unanswered Question," focusing on musical phonology and its relationship to linguistics. As an academic presentation on music theory, it does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes, thus rendering the criteria for portrayal evaluation inapplicable.
