Transformational theory is a branch of music theory developed by David Lewin in the 1980s, and formally introduced in his 1987 work Generalized Musical Intervals and Transformations. The theory—which models musical transformations as elements of a mathematical group—can be used to analyze both tonal and atonal music.
