Much controversy surrounds Schenker's mature theory and its attempt
to explain musical pitch motion. Becoming Heinrich Schenker brings
a new perspective to Schenker's theoretical work, showing that
ideas characteristic of his mature theory, although in many
respects fundamentally different, developed logically out of his
earlier ideas. Robert P. Morgan provides an introduction to
Schenker's mature theory and traces its development through all of
his major publications, considering each in detail and with
numerous music examples. Morgan also explores the relationship
between Schenker's theory and his troubled ideology, which
crucially influenced the evolution of his ideas and was heavily
dependent upon both the empirical and idealist strains of
contemporary German philosophical thought. Relying where possible
on quotations from Schenker's own words, this book offers a
balanced approach to his theory and a unique overview of this
central music figure, generally considered to be the most prominent
music theorist of the twentieth century.
