Theory of Harmony: 100th Anniversary edition
By Arnold Schoenberg
Translated by Roy E. Carter
"Schoenberg’s largest and most important treatise. . . . brilliant, wide-ranging yet well focused, expansive yet reflective, eclectic yet comprehensible . . . this book will come as a joy, a revelation.”—Notes
Frisch puts Schoenberg's masterpiece into historical and ideological context, delineating the connections between music, theory, art, science, and architecture in turn-of-the century Austro-German culture.
Arnold Schoenberg (1874-1951), renowned Austrian and American composer, musical theorist, painter, and teacher of composition, pioneered compositional and critical approaches to atonality that were landmarks in twentieth century musical thought.
