Reviews

[E]xpands the literature on Schenker studies in important and fascinating ways. It belongs on the bookshelf of any Schenkerian but would also be a wonderful resource for intermediate and advanced classes in Schenkerian analysis.
*NOTES: JOURNAL OF THE MUSIC LIBRARY ASSOCIATION*

The analyses in the book are of a high quality [and treat] form and structure, the role of motif (a trademark of Laufer), and the relationship between voice-leading structure and musical meaning. Just as aspects of form and design can influence voice-leading structures, Schenkerian studies such as these have much to contribute to form studies. A welcome contribution to the Schenkerian analytical corpus.
