| Abstract | Designed for a course in twentieth-century techniques and analysis, the text presents basic theoretical concepts in six chapters, each of which is followed by a pair of short analyses designed to apply the concepts in a meaningful musical context. Carefully graduated exercises encourage students to master the concepts and to use them in playing, singing, composing, and analyzing music. |
