The book offers a criticism of Schenkerian theory and analytic practice. Contrary to what is held, is it really valuable when it comes to musical description and interpretation? What about its relationships to other kinds of analysis, and to linguistic syntax and music cognition?
During the past fifty years Schenkerian theory has been adopted as the main method for analysing tonal music. This book questions the value of Schenker’s «tonal analysis» for musical description and interpretation, and discusses its relations to «generative» theory and «implicational» analysis – taking into account its links with linguistic syntax and the perception of tonal closure. It is observed how auxiliary theoretical concepts transform the music so as to pave the way for preordained tonal structures. Alternative readings of the music examples are provided.
