From the Back Cover
Key Benefit: A guide throughout Schenkerian analysis of traditional tonal music, using a contemporary multi-levelled hierarchy to show interaction of structure and motion in music. Key Topics: Details the link between Schenkerian analysis and traditional methods of analysis of form in music. Uses a generative (top-down) approach to Schenkerian analysis rather than a reductive approach to more closely illustrate Schenker's original intentions for the method. Presents scores of models for notation, as well as bass-line sketches to allow a smooth transition into Schenkerian analysis.
