[单项选择]　　McClary’’s position, concerning the process by which music is gendered as masculine or feminine, is that socially-grounded codes are "composed into" the music, that they are immanent to the text, there to be discovered. McClary has traced narratives of power and sexual differences in sonata forms by mapping the gendered terms in which theorists have described them onto pieces which variously appear to enact or resist such constructions. 　　Rieger has likewise traced the inchoate differentiation of musical affects by gendered characters in late-eighteenth-century opera, and charted their much heightened divergence in contemporary film music. Both of these approaches　share a common assumption of a degree of awareness of such gendered codes at the point of composition, an awareness which, if not fully reflective, at least shows a composer’’s "practical consciousness" of how musical expression works　within his or her culture. This conception permits music to participate fully in cultural
A. external to the music, imposed in most cases by the interpretational criteria of critics and listeners
