Abstract In this extensively revised and completely reset edition, important information on texture, register, and rhythm is integrated with harmony and form in significant ways. The section on chromaticism is presented systematically, in a manner readily grasped by students. New sections on the musical phrase, both in its motivic/melodic and its harmonic aspects, provide a firm basis for the analysis of major forms. The analytic chapters have been reorganized to coordinate with the sections on harmony and the musical phrase. The study of twentieth-century music has been expanded to include an introduction to set theory and a more comprehensive discussion of extended tonality. The worksheets have been rewritten; and the anthology, formerly a separate volume, has been incorporated into this single volume for greater ease of access.
