Book excerpt: This step-by-step introduction to interpreting bass lines, upper parts, and whole compositions uses the new multi-level hierarchy to show readers the interaction of structure and motion in music. The authors present scores of models for notation and offer a host of exercises which are keyed to chapters or sections of chapters. In addition, lists of optional exercises keyed to commonly used anthologies are also supplied. Content highlights: presents bass-line sketches to allow a smooth transition into Schenkerian analysis; 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 clearly illustrate Schenker's original intentions for the method; devotes an entire section to the special topic of nontraditional tonal music before Bach and after Brahms; and offers an encapsulated overview of the principal concepts of Schenker's method to facilitate recall.
