Heinrich Schenker's theoretical and analytical works claim to
resubstantiate the unique artistic presence of the canonic work,
and thus reject those musical disciplines such as psychoacoustics
and systematic musicology which derive from the natural sciences.
In this respect his writing reflects the counter-positivism endemic
to the German academic discourse of the first decades of the
twentieth century. The rhetoric of this stance, however, conceals a
sophisticated programme wherein Schenker situates his project in
relation to these sciences, arguing his reading of the musical text
as a synthesis of a descriptive psychology and an explanatory
historiography (which itself embeds both paleographic and
philological assumptions). This book rereads Schenker's project as
an attempt to reconstruct music theory as a discipline against the
background of the empirical musical sciences of the later
nineteenth century.
