Did Peirce apply his triadic theory (that things are comprised of Firstness, Secondness, Thirdness) to music?

1No, but others tried, see e.g. Turino– ConifoldApr 16, 2021 at 17:32

@Conifold Maybe you can turn your comment into a full answer.– GeremiaApr 16, 2021 at 17:33

Not really. There is nothing to say about Peirce, and I am not well versed in the work of later semioticians on music to usefully summarize it.– ConifoldApr 16, 2021 at 17:54

@Conifold Did Peirce write anything on music theory?– GeremiaApr 23, 2021 at 16:59

Not that I can think of. Semioticians are drawing on his general theory of signs, which covers musical signs, but he did not discuss those specifically.– ConifoldApr 23, 2021 at 17:54
