| Abstract | Equips students to critically examine a wide range of compositions and forms. Green's text takes students a step further by enabling them to approach musical works unencumbered by preconceived notions of what characteristics the text should or should not have. Providing specific help on every aspect of musical analysis, this text uses many of the compositions found in Charles Burkhart's Anthology for Musical Analysis, but it allows students the freedom to explore works that they already own. |
