Strauss. Explorations in Schenkerian Analysis is a collection of
fifteen essays dedicated to the memory of Edward Laufer, an
influential advocate of Schenker's method. The chapters are

Laufer (written before his death), and ending with excerpts from
Stephen Slottow's 2003 interview with Laufer (in an appendix).

considerable variety in the approaches taken by the contributors.

Some of Debussy's most beloved pieces, as well as lesser-known ones
from his early years, set in a rich cultural context by leading
experts from the English- and French-speaking worlds. The music of
Claude Debussy has always been widely beloved by listeners and
performers alike, more perhaps than that of any of the other
pioneers of musical modernism. However rich in itself, his creative
output also participated,and continues to participate, in a network
of cultural connections, the scope and meaning of which can only be
gleaned through multiple interpretive frameworks. Debussy's
Resonance offers twenty new studies by some of themost active and
respected English- and French-language scholars of French music.
The book treats a large swath of the composer's music, from
previously unexplored melodies of his early years to late pieces
such as the ballet Jeux and the Douze Etudes, and takes into
consideration the numerous contexts that helped shape the works and
the different ways that musicologists and critics have explained
them. CONTRIBUTORS: Katherine Bergeron, Matthew Brown, David J.
