About this title

Synopsis

Like many texts on musical analysis, FORMS IN TONAL MUSIC equips students to critically examine a wide range of compositions and forms. However, Green's text takes students a step further by enabling them to approach musical works unencumbered by preconceived notions of what characteristics the text should or should not have. Providing specific help on every aspect of musical analysis, this text uses many of the compositions found in Charles Burkhart's ANTHOLOGY FOR MUSICAL ANALYSIS, but it allows students the freedom to explore works that they already own.

Review

"Unlike other texts, your book makes clear in few words what creating music involves--step-by-step with clear illustrations. The numbered steps with simple illustrations cannot be found in any other text."

"Your text can be used for all levels of theory and composition, including Twentieth Century Techniques, and thus represents a significant monetary savings for the student."
