Displays the range and diversity of Schenkerian studies today in
fifteen essays covering music from Bach through Debussy and
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
presented in chronological order by composer, opening with Charles
Burkhart's contribution, which is presented as a letter to Edward
Laufer (written before his death), and ending with excerpts from
Stephen Slottow's 2003 interview with Laufer (in an appendix).
Whilethe unifying focus is Schenkerian analysis, there is
considerable variety in the approaches taken by the contributors.
There is also variety in the composers represented, ranging from
Bach to Debussy and Strauss. The volume thusdisplays the scope and
diversity of Schenkerian studies today. CONTRIBUTORS: Mark

In this highly anticipated new edition of Analysis of Tonal Music:
A Schenkerian Approach, authors Allen Cadwallader, David Gagne, and
Frank Samarotto use specific, memorable compositions to explain
structural principles. This approach teaches students how to think
about, critically examine, understand, and perform great
compositions of Western art music. Part 1 covers principles
fundamental to the study of Schenkerian analysis and includes
discussions of melody, counterpoint, bass-line structures, the
imaginary continuo, linear techniques, and the essential properties
of the Ursatz (fundamental structure). Part 2 presents complete
compositions by formal category, beginning with one-part forms;
proceeding through binary, ternary, and rondo forms; and concluding
with the sonata principle. The book includes more than 200
analytical graphs, an appendix on graphic notation, and a
bibliography.
