 Analysis
of Tonal Music : A Schenkerian Approach by Allen Cadwallader,
David Gagne
This instructive
work provides an accessible introduction to the fundamental principles
of Schenkerian analysis by focusing on the music itself. It derives
structural principles from the practical analysis of specific
pieces of real music rather than from stereotypical models. It
aims to teach readers how to approach a piece of music, and how
to think about and critically examine compositions in ways that
will inform their understanding and performance of great compositions
of Western art music.
The first
part of the volume provides the foundation for the analysis of
complete pieces, and the second part presents complete compositions,
organized by formal category. The book is also enhanced by over
200 analytical graphs, numerous musical examples, an appendix
on Schenkerian terminology, and an annotated bibliography. (Amazon.com)
