DESCRIPTION:
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. 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 third edition of Analysis of Tonal Music brings improvements and clarifications to a textbook that already is the most well-grounded, authoritative source.

"Well chosen pieces, very poor instructions!" according to HornChancellor. This workbook has a good selection of pieces for students to use in practicing the Schenkerian method of analysis. They are chosen from repertoire that is by composers of whom Schenker approved but using pieces for which there are not known published analyses. The instructions are unnecessarily long and sometimes include random historical trivia which in no way aids analysis. It was very difficult to glean from the instruction page what was actually the expected result. I nearly always had to wait to get to class and ask for further instructions from the teacher before I could get past a prelimi. Charles Morton said The book came as expected. However, it is. The book came as expected. However, it is not indicated in the title that this is just the accompanying workbook. I realize that the twenty dollar paperback is probably not Cadwallader and Gagne's textbook, but apparently it confused my family enough to buy just this.. it's a workbook not an analized Quick delivery and high quality printing in and out. But I gave a it's a workbook not an analized DaeSoon Hwang Quick delivery and high quality printing in and out. But I gave a 4 star because of it's title in ad. In its title I supposed that it might be a book having analysis of tonal works. Now I see that it only has a guide line for analysis. I think it would be helpful for someone but for me. I should have titled ".workbook." Of course on top of the picture it's written but now I noticed that It should've included in the title That's why I gave a 4star. Though I will just keep it as a reference book.. star because of it's title in ad. In its title I supposed that it might be a book having analysis of tonal works.
