Music theory

an approach that treats musical relations as actions or transformations that carry one musical object to another, rather than as distances between fixed points.

In music theory, transformational theory refers to an approach that treats musical relations as actions or transformations that carry one musical object to another, rather than as distances between fixed points. This meaning comes from Lewin (1987/2007) in Generalized musical intervals and transformations.[1]
