Description
Schoenberg's final theoretical work, published in 1948, offers his ultimate thoughts on classical and romantic harmony. This comprehensive treatise provides an in-depth analysis of the fundamental principles of harmony, including the concept of 'monotonality', which redefines how modulations to different keys are understood.
The book features extensive examples from various musical compositions, including entire development sections of symphonies and analyses of harmonic progressions by notable composers such as Strauss, Debussy, Reger, and Schoenberg himself. This detailed examination provides a unique insight into the composer's thought process and his approach to harmony in music.
With its clear explanations and insightful analysis, Structural Functions of Harmony is an essential resource for anyone interested in understanding the theoretical foundations of harmony in classical music.
