I think you can analyze them easily enough . . you can look at a piece and talk about what expectations are being set up, thwarted, etc.

Being able to derive always-applicable "rules" from thsi is another thing.

maybe, it might be curious to see if people agreed.
i usually don't get these responses looking at a score (maybe if i could absorb it all in real time i could) as much as i do listening to a recording
