Graduate Review of Tonal Theory: A Recasting of Common-Practice Harmony, Form, and Counterpoint
Laitz, Steven G (Associate Professor and Chair of Music Theory, Eastman School of Music, Associate Professor and Chair of Music Theory, Eastman School of Music, University of Rochester, Rochester, NY USA, Author)
Based on The Complete Musician, the text goes beyond the undergraduate level to address students as colleagues and explores analytical applications that are appealing and practical. The text provides a means to discuss the perception and cognition, the analysis and performance, and the composition and reception of common-practice tonal music. Each chapter ends with two- to three-page "Analytical Extensions," which introduce one new topic through one or twoworks from the repertoire, and then develop the topic in a model analysis. Appendixes include keyboard exercises, model composition strategies and assignments, and sample solutions.
