Description and Table of Contents
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.
