Description
The music of the early 20th century presents major challenges to the musical analyst. Amid great diversity of compositional practice, the application of theoretical approaches to compositional method and a range of analytical methodology, this book aims to provide a set of models of analytical explanation, interpretation and comparison. Some of the chapters offer mainstream analytical approaches, whilst others cover related techniques. By following a broadly similar route through general orientation, chosen method, the model and a summary, each contributor aims to show how an analytical issue might be tackled to provide a framework for further investigation.
