Abstract Since the death of Heinrich Schenker in 1935, interest in his method of musical analysis has steadily grown. Today he is widely recognized as the most important music theorist of the 20th century. Yet no full introduction to his system exists in English. The articles in this collection appeared in the Journal of Music Theory over a period of 17 years. Together they constitute a comprehensive exposition of Schenkerian theory and analysis with numerous musical examples throughout the book.
