Functionalism may be characterized by the functional treatment of the chosen material, by functional design, and by a focus on the work's intended function. This tripartite requirement also defines the concept of musical functionalism as developed in this study, and it serves as the foundation for a presentation of Schoenberg's and Hindemith's thoughts on the subject. Examined through the lens of musical functionalism, common traits between the two composers become evident, despite all their individual characteristics as artists of noticeable integrity. Discussions of the musical material, of musical form, and of the function of music allow the author to reveal a shared epistemological base underlying the external dissimilarities of the two composers' style and language. 600 10 Schoenberg, Arnold, |d1874-1951 |xCriticism and interpretation. |=^A18534 600 10 Hindemith, Paul, |d1895-1963 |xCriticism and interpretation. |=^A24013 650 0 Music |xPhilosophy and aesthetics. |=^A18895 650 0 Music and architecture. |=^A180358 830 0 Interplay (Hillsdale, N.Y.) ; |v8. |=^A458031 949 ML3845 .B647 2011 |ojmpl |i30372016435411 994 C0 |bERE 596 3 998 2798739
