Allen Forte & Steven Gilbert - Introduction to Schenkerian Analysis with Instructor's Manual

Description:

Introduction to Schenkerian Analysis by Allen Forte and Steven E. Gilbert remains the standard English-language textbook for the study of Schenkerian theory, widely adopted in graduate music theory programs across North America and beyond. First published in 1982, the volume provides a systematic, step-by-step introduction to the analytical methods developed by Heinrich Schenker, guiding students from foundational concepts — the Ursatz, the Urlinie, and structural levels — through increasingly complex analytical applications drawn from the tonal repertoire.

This edition includes the Instructor's Manual, an invaluable companion that provides model analyses, pedagogical guidance, and solutions to the exercises presented in the main text, making it an essential resource for faculty teaching Schenkerian analysis at the graduate or advanced undergraduate level.

Forte and Gilbert's lucid prose and carefully sequenced examples have made this volume the gateway through which generations of music theorists have entered Schenker's world — an indispensable addition to any serious music theory library.

An essential resource for:

• Graduate and advanced undergraduate music theory courses
• Faculty teaching Schenkerian analysis (Instructor's Manual included)
• Music theorists and analysts working in the tonal repertoire
• Libraries and conservatories building music theory holdings
