Description — paste into the product body:

Der freie Satz (Free Composition), the culminating work of Heinrich Schenker's theoretical corpus, appears here in French translation by Nicolas Meeus, making this foundational text accessible to Francophone musicians and scholars. Originally published posthumously in 1935, Der freie Satz represents the full and mature statement of Schenker's theory of tonal music — a hierarchical model built upon the concepts of the Ursatz, the Urlinie, and the transformative layers of diminution connecting background to foreground.

This French edition preserves the rigorous analytical framework of the original while rendering Schenker's dense prose in idiomatic French, accompanied by his extensive figures and musical examples drawn from the masterworks of the common-practice repertoire.

An essential resource for:

• Music theorists and graduate students working in Schenkerian analysis
• Performers seeking a deeper structural understanding of tonal repertoire
• Libraries and conservatories serving French-speaking communities
• Scholars of 20th-century music theory and intellectual history
