Description

Displays the range and diversity of Schenkerian studies today in fifteen essays covering music from Bach through Debussy and Strauss. Explorations in Schenkerian Analysis is a collection of fifteen essays dedicated to the memory of Edward Laufer, an influential advocate of Schenker's method. The chapters are presented in chronological order by composer, opening with Charles Burkhart's contribution, which is presented as a letter to Edward Laufer (written before his death), and ending with excerpts from Stephen Slottow's 2003 interview with Laufer (in an appendix). Whilethe unifying focus is Schenkerian analysis, there is considerable variety in the approaches taken by the contributors. There is also variety in the composers represented, ranging from Bach to Debussy and Strauss. The volume thusdisplays the scope and diversity of Schenkerian studies today. CONTRIBUTORS: Mark Anson-Cartwright, David Beach, Matthew Brown, Charles Burkhart, L. Poundie Burstein, Timothy L. Jackson, Roger Kamien, Leslie Kinton, SuYin Mak, Ryan McClelland, Don McLean, Boyd Pomeroy, William Rothstein, Frank Samarotto, Stephen Slottow, Lauri Suurpää David Beach is professor emeritus and former dean of the Faculty of Music, University of Toronto.

Media Reviews

[E]xpands the literature on Schenker studies in important and fascinating ways. It belongs on the bookshelf of any Schenkerian but would also be a wonderful resource for intermediate and advanced classes in Schenkerian analysis. * NOTES: JOURNAL OF THE MUSIC LIBRARY ASSOCIATION *
The analyses in the book are of a high quality [and treat] form and structure, the role of motif (a trademark of Laufer), and the relationship between voice-leading structure and musical meaning. Just as aspects of form and design can influence voice-leading structures, Schenkerian studies such as these have much to contribute to form studies. A welcome contribution to the Schenkerian analytical corpus. * MUSIC & LETTERS *
