Description
The Student Workbook to Accompany Analysis of Tonal Music, Third Edition, contains 41 assignments for introductory courses in Schenkerian Analysis. This new edition has been reworked to provide instructors with greater flexibility in using the assignments, offering suggestions as part of the instructions for each assignment rather than as notational hints in worksheets. Assignments include well-known pieces from the tonal repertory and are linked to examples and discussions in the text, directing students to model their work on specific text analyses.
Reviews / Votes
"The third edition of Analysis of Tonal Music brings improvements and clarifications to a textbook that already is the most well-grounded, authoritative source. . . . The text presents an authentic understanding of the tradition of Schenker's theory; it far supersedes any competitors, and it is the only Schenkerian text I recommend."--Frank Samarotto, Indiana University"The greatest strengths of this textbook are its attractive and engaging writing style, its well-paced introduction to essential concepts, its care and attention to musical details beyond reduction to archetype, and its well-chosen excerpts for analytical demonstration. . . . The book covers all the topics I introduce to students and does so in a thoughtful, clear manner. It provides a firm foundation upon which students can develop their hearing and thinking
about music from a Schenkerian perspective."--Michael Baker, University of Kentucky
