Basic Post-Tonal Theory and Analysis

Basic Post-Tonal Theory and Analysis gives students a thorough, clear, and methodical introduction to post-tonal music theory and its application to music composed since 1900. Designed for students studying post-tonal music at the end of a required theory sequence or taking a stand-alone upper-division course, the text provides basic theoretical tools and offers multiple opportunities for reinforcement and application in the form of theoretical and analytical drills and composition exercises.
