In Fall 2012, the renowned tonal theorist and leading practitioner of Schenkerian theory and analysis Carl Schachter taught a legendary doctoral seminar at the CUNY Graduate Center in which he talked about the music and the musical issues that have concerned him most deeply; the course was in essence a summation of his extensive and renowned teaching on the subject. Winner of the Society for Music Theory's 2017 Citation of Special Merit, The Art of Tonal Analysis presents edited transcripts of those lectures, accompanied by abundant music examples including those transcribed from the classroom blackboard, visualizations of material presented aurally at the piano, and Schenkerian graphs and sketches presented in Schachter's own handwriting.

About the Author

Carl Schachter is an extraordinary musician and musical thinker, and the world's leading practitioner of Schenkerian theory and analysis. He has written extensively on the masterworks of the tonal common practice and on the analytical delights and challenges that they present. Although his articles and books have been broadly influential, and are seen by many as models of musical insight and lucid prose, perhaps his greatest impact has been felt in the classroom. At the Mannes College of Music, the Juilliard School of Music, Queens College and the Graduate Center of the City University of New York, and at special pedagogical events around the world, he has taught generations of musical performers, composers, historians, and theorists.

Joseph N. Straus has published widely on topics in modernist music and post-tonal music theory. He is a former President of the Society for Music Theory.
