About this ebook
Understanding the way music
unfolds to the listener is a major key for unlocking the secrets of the
composer’s art. Musical Form and Analysis, highly regarded and widely
used for two decades, provides a balanced theoretical and philosophical
approach that helps upper-level undergraduate music majors understand
the structures and constructions of major musical forms. Spring and
Hutcheson present all of the standard topics expected in such a text,
but their approach offers a unique conceptual thrust that takes readers
beyond mere analytical terminology and facts. Evocative rather than
encyclopedic, the text is organized around three elements at work at all
levels of music: time, pattern, and proportion. Well-chosen examples
and direct, well-crafted assignments reinforce techniques. A 140-page
anthology of music for in-depth analysis provides a wide range of
carefully selected works.
