Structure and Style, first published in 1962 and expanded in 1979,
fills the need for new ways of analysis that put 20th-century music
in perspective. It spans forms in use before 1600 through forms and
techniques in use today. Anthology of Musical Forms provides
musical examples of forms treated in Structure and Style. Some
examples are analyzed throughout. Most are left for the student to
analyze. These books reflect Leon Stein's impressive background as
student, musician, and composer. Stein studied composition with Leo
Sowerby, Frederick Stock (conductor of the Chicago Symphony), and
orchestration with Eric DeLamarter, his assistant. He earned M. Mus
and Ph.D degrees at DePaul University and was associated with its
School of Music as director of the Graduate Division and chairman
of the Department of Theory and Composition until his retirement in
1976. He has composed a wide variety of works, including
compositions for orchestra, chamber combinations, two operas, and a
violin concerto.
March 25, 2011, marks the centennial of the Triangle Shirtwaist
Factory fire, in which 146 garment workers lost their lives. A work
of history relevant for all those who continue the fight for
workers' rights and safety, this edition of Leon Stein's classic
account of the fire features a substantial new foreword by the
labor journalist Michael Hirsch, as well as a new appendix listing
all of the victims' names, for the first time, along with addresses
at the time of their death and locations of their final resting
places.
