Assertion
As summarized by Slottow, Micháel Ó Súilleabháin proposed that Irish players improvise against a 'partially inaudible structural model' of a tune, while James Cowdery described a 'tune model' as a generating pattern in the mind of the individual and group.
Quote
Micheal O’Suilleabhain postulates a “partially inaudible structural model” characterized by formal structure, phrase pattern, rhythm, contour, and “set accented” pitches “against which the player improvises.”
