Ernst Kurth as Theorist and Analyst is the first book length study
devoted to the writings of one of this century's most important
music theorists. In contrast to previous discussions, Lee A.
Rothfarb's study explains Kurth's theories in light of his analyses
of specific musical examples. Unlike many of his contemporaries,
Kurth approached music primarily from a cognitive rather than a
purely technical viewpoint. In a unique kind of experiential
analysis, he examined the psychological foundations of
counterpoint, harmony, and form, and considered the affective, as
opposed to solely structural or syntactic, effects of melody,
chord, interval, and tone. The introduction provides a biographical
sketch of Kurth, based on archival research and personal interview
with his widow, son, and many of his doctoral students. Rothfarb
also discusses the intellectual currents of the late nineteenth and
early twentieth centuries, both musical and nonmusical, which
shaped Kurth's outlook. Eight chapters summarize the main ideas of
Grundlagen des linearen Kontrapunkts and Romantische Harmonik and
show the directions Kurth took in his later works, Bruckner and
Musikpsychologie. A final chapter identified his influence on
several of his well-known contemporaries. Ernst Kurth as Theorist
and Analyst will interest music theorists, musicologists, and
advanced students of music theory.
