Adam Neely examines Phil Ewell's paper arguing Western music theory is framed by a white racial perspective. He covers North Indian theory, alternative frameworks, Schenker and responses to the paper.
HN recommends it as the canonical video on how music theory is really the theory of one Western tradition, with the raga example.
