Book Description
Unlike other books on this subject, this survey of 20th-century music is organized according to compositional methods and analytical techniques rather than historical movements. Emphasizing hands-on compositional and analytical experience, it covers scale formations, chords and simultaneities, melody and voice leading, harmonic progression and tonality, rhythm, serial and nonserial atonality, electronic music, and movements such as minimalism and neoromanticism.
