The book begins with a thorough coverage of a number of
elementary matters. This may be regarded either as a review or as a
reorientation in preparation for the systematic presentation that
follows.
Beginning in Part Two ideas that are more specifically
Schenkerian are developed and applied to the analysis of short
compositions. Since the book is also intended to cover all of the
basic standard form it has seemed logical to use this feature in
organizing the material. Thus, Part Two ends with longer forms and
Part Three covers the main large forms (sonata, rondo, and so on).
The various types of Schenkerian prolongations are introduced
gradually and discussed and illustrated thoroughly in the text.
Each chapter ends with a set of exercises keyed to the topics
that have been presented, and the student is given precise
instructions for completing the exercises as well as occasional
hints about pitfalls and special problems that they contain.
