Schenkerian analysis guide published

Not entirely germane to this blog, as the Guide is very traditional pedagogy, but I will nevertheless announce a compact online version of A Guide to Schenkerian Analysis, originally published in 1992. Susan E. Tepping was my co-author. It is available on the Texas Scholarworks platform: link.

Here is the abstract:

This essay is an introduction to Schenkerian analysis, one model for linear analysis/interpretation of music. This condensed version of an out-of-print manual, co-authored with Susan Tepping, provides the basis of an efficient learning experience and includes only the material from the original book necessary to that end. Two supplementary files contain appendices (File 2) and text and figures from the original book deleted from this file (File 3).

Update 18 December 2024: I have published A Guide to Schenkerian Analysis, Early 20th Century. Here is the link.
