Basic Concepts and Principles in Modern Musical Analysis. A Schenkerian Approach

Abstract

This subject is fascinating through the interpretive possibilities that it opens. The accurate understanding and practice of Schenker’s theories leads to a different perception of the music and to a natural way of performing. Therefore, we consider the Schenkerian analysis not only a theory but also a comprehensive way of understanding musical works. Schenkerian analysis provides a comprehensive view of music from the small to the large representing thus a great asset to hearing understanding and performance.
