Guidelines for style analysis

This revised and enlarged edition offers the student, researcher and music lover an opportunity to examine the music of any style or period for a consistent point of view via the style-analytical approach.

Jan LaRue (1918-2004), a distinguished scholar of music and a former president of the American Musicological Society, was the author of several books and numerous articles on aspects of style analysis, manuscript and watermark studies, and the 18th-century symphony, concerto and string quartet. He was also an outstanding teacher who spent the largest part of his teaching career, nearly forty years, at New York University.

Marian Green LaRue is the founding editor of The Journal of Musicology. She resides in Lawrenceville, New Jersey.
