This innovative book continues David Damschroder's radical
reformulation of harmonic theory, presenting a dynamic exploration
of harmony in the compositions of Mendelssohn and Schumann, two key
figures of nineteenth-century classical music. This volume's
introductory chapters creatively introduce the basic tenets of the
system, with reference to sound files rather than notated music
examples permitting a more direct interaction between reader and
music. In the Masterworks section that follows, Damschroder
presents detailed analyses of movements from piano, vocal, and
chamber music, and compares his outcomes with those of other
analysts, including Benedict Taylor, L. Poundie Burstein, and Peter
H. Smith. Expanding upon analytical practices from the eighteenth
and nineteenth centuries, and strongly influenced by Schenkerian
principles, this fresh perspective offers a stark contrast to
conventional harmonic analysis - both in terms of how Roman
numerals are deployed and how musical processes are described in
words.
