Thinking About Harmony: Historical Perspectives On Analysis

Focusing on music written in the period 1800 1850- Thinking about Harmony traces the responses of observant musicians to the music that was being created in their midst by composers including Beethoven- Schubert- and Chopin. It tells the story of how a separate branch of musical activity - music analysis - evolved out of the desire to make sense of the music- essential both to its enlightened performance and to its appreciation. The book integrates two distinct areas of musical inquiry - the history of music theory and music analysis - and the various notions that shape harmonic theory are put to the test through practical application- creating a unique and intriguing synthesis. Aided by an extensive compilation of carefully selected and clearly annotated music examples- readers can explore a panoramic projection of the era's analytical responses to harmony- thereby developing a more intimate rapport with the period.
