    abstract     = {For centuries, theorists have debated whether musical
                   phrases are normatively beginning-accented or
                   end-accented. The last two decades of the twentieth
                   century gave beginning-accented rhythm the upper hand;
                   yet, recent work on end-accented phrases has reinvigorated
                   the debate. I contribute to this discussion in two ways.
                   First, I aim to rehabilitate a central position of
                   end-accented rhythm by drawing attention to
                   phrase-rhythmic tendencies in classical sentence
                   structure. My analyses show that end-accented sentential
                   schemas are well-established compositional options in
                   various action spaces—including Primary and Secondary
                   Themes—in late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century
                   instrumental music. Moreover, integral roles of
                   end-accented sentential themes are substantiated by their
                   production—in tandem with their beginning-accented
                   counterparts—of large-scale progressions analogous to
                   tonal and formal ones. Awareness of these sentential
                   themes re-energizes the century-old debate and deepens our
                   understanding of phrase rhythm as a source of musical
                   meaning. Second, in order to achieve the first goal, I
                   develop a theory of phrase-rhythmic progression for
                   categorizing phrase-rhythmic types and mapping their
                   trajectories. This theory fills a gap in current spatial
                   representations of rhythm and meter, which focus on metric
                   dissonances and hierarchies without considerations of
                   phrase–meter interaction.},
