Product Description

Product Description

Derived from the widely used website, www.SchenkerGUIDE.com, this book offers a step-by-step method to tackling Schenkerian analysis. It outlines the concepts involved in analysis, provides a detailed working method to help students to get started on the process of analysis, and explores the basics of a Schenkerian approach to form, register, motives and dramatic structure. It also provides a series of exercises with hints and tips for their completion.

 



From the Back Cover

SchenkerGUIDE is an accessible overview of Heinrich Schenker's complex but fascinating approach to the analysis of tonal music. The book has emerged out of the very popular www.SchenkerGUIDE.com, which has been offering straightforward explanations of Schenkerian analysis to undergraduate students since 2001.

Divided into four parts, SchenkerGUIDE offers a step-by-step method to tackling this often difficult system of analysis.

  • Part I sets out the main features of Schenker's theory and its underlying concepts
  • Part II outlines a unique and detailed working method to help students to get started on the process of analysis
  • Part III puts some of these ideas into practice by exploring the basics of a Schenkerian approach to form, register, motives and dramatic structure.
  • Part IV provides a series of exercises from the simple to the more sophisticated, along with hints and tips for their completion.

Tom Pankhurst is Senior Lecturer at Liverpool Hope University. His research interests include the tonal music of the twentieth century and semiotic approaches to tonality.

5.0 out of 5 stars Schenkerian analisys seems easy, 29 May 2009
By F. J. Guijarro Pascual "Javier Guijarro Pascual" (Salamanca, Spain) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have tried every possible book to introduce my pupils in the difficult waters of schenkerian analisys, but this is the first time I can see some success in it. Tom Pankhurst method is clear, easy to explain and to understand and you can start analising music right from the begining.

Another good thing about the book is that you have also a web page with a lot of material.

(sorry about my english... it's easier to read than to write it)

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant, 9 Aug 2009
By kipper (Berkshire, England) - See all my reviews
This book's subtitle, "A brief handbook and website for Schenkerian analysis", is a bit too modest. Although short, it's a very complete and thorough first course in Schenkerian analysis.

One good feature of the book is that Pankhurst describes Schenkerian notation at the same time as introducing the concepts. This means that he needs far fewer words than other writers to say what needs to be said. The examples often speak for themselves, and everything is very clear.

Another excellent feature is the section about how to do a Schenkerian analysis and how to present one in practice. I don't know where else one might find this. The exercises at the end are well graded and there are a few very easy ones on the web site to get you started.

Schenker's theories are controversial and many people find them quite hard to swallow. Some authors either skate over this or else patronise and bully their readers. Here's what Pankhurst says: "Whereas Schenker lived at a time when knowledge tended to be presented as absolute truth, we tend today to view it as somewhat more provisional. The task for a student of Schenker is to be open to understanding music in the way that he suggests, but at the same time keeping critical faculties intact and alert." He returns to this issue several times during the book, always with the same undogmatic good humour.

Normally you'd want to be at least at undergraduate level to tackle Schenker's theories, but this book is so clearly written that I think a good A level student could manage it pretty well. I wish all music theory books were written as well as this.
