| Abstract | Heinrich Schenker (1868-1935) was arguably the most influential music theorist of the twentieth century. With his controversial approach to musical analysis, he clearly demonstrated the interdependence of harmony and counterpoint--the relation between chord and line--at different structural levels. The influence of this theory sparked a major revolution in music theory and has resonated in the theoretical work of a half-century of scholars. This book gathers the writings of the most recent generation of Schenkerian theorists, extending and amplifying ideas not fully developed by Schenker in his lifetime, and placing him in the broader context of theoretical history. Focusing on the topics of tonal rhythm, musical form, and motivic structure, these essays represent both analytical and theoretical elaborations of Schenkerian theory. Chann Willner's essay on Handel's motivic and rhythmic transformation of Telemann's music, and David Gagné's study of Mozart's use of register and texture in the context of musical form represent the analytical extension and practical application of Schenker's work. Extending the theoretical boundaries of Schenker's work, William Rothstein's theory of rhythmic displacement and normalization and Allen Cadwallader's exploration of form and design at different structural levels serve as corollaries to Schenker's original theory. By tracing the historical progression of the Ursatz concept, one of the most far-reaching theoretical constructs of the twentieth century, William Pastille illustrates Schenker's relevance in the history of music theory. |
