Report copyright infringementby Heinrich Schenker (Author), Elisabeth Mann Borgese (Translator), Oswald Jonas (Editor)Harmony, Heinrich Schenker's first published work, originally appeared in German in 1906 as "New Musical Theories and Phantasies, by an Artist." Its unusual title indicates what was to be the rationale of Schenker's lifework, that artistic problems call for artistic solutions. Schenker's dedication to the formulation of a complete musical theory above the commonplace theoretical discussions was, in essence, his quest for a pattern in nature for music as art. Schenker's theory draws upon a profound understanding of the works of the masters and every proposition is illustrated by a living musical example.Back JacketIn this sequence of works, interspersed with a good number of other publications, Schenker revealed his theories as they developed. Each volume represents a step forward, based on an ever growing artistic experience. Number of Pages: 394 Dimensions: 0.81 x 9.04 x 6.04 IN Illustrated: Yes Publication Date: October 15, 1980
