Stephen Siek -
I am pursuing a BA in Music. In an advanced theory class I was introduced to the work of Heinrich Schenker. I was (& still am) amazed at how useful & insightful some of concepts are in analyzing music (i.e.: Ursatz, Urline, prolongation, contrapunctal versus harmonic chord function, etc.). I got several of his works & works related to his (especially Salzer's "Structural Hearing Tonal Coherence in Music") & have been entranced ever since. The approach he used is limited in some ways to certain styles & composers. But, I have found that it is possible to extrapolate many of the important ideas (especially the hierarchical nature of any tonal piece) & apply them to any piece that is within the bounds of tonality. In your view, how successful is Schenkerian theory in analyzing music? Thank you, Christopher Schlegel |
