Five Graphic Music
Analyses by Heinrich Schenker, A
Schenkerian study of the musical architecture of 5 compositions from 3 stylistic
periods: 2 compositions by J S Bach: the chorale, Ich bin's, ich sollte bussen,
and the Prelude No. 1 in C Major from Book I of the Well-Tempered Clavier; the
development section from the first movement of Haydn's Sonata for Piano in
E-Flat Major; & 2 etudes by Chopin: in F Major, Op. 10, No. 8; & in C
Minor, Op.10, No. 12. Schenker's unique methods of structural analysis,
differentiating between harmonic & contrapuntal functions of chords,
emphasise the relative significance of all tones in terms of motion &
direction in the achievement of organic tonal unity; thus Schenkerian analysis
replaces the traditional methods of so-called "harmonic analysis"
concerned primarily with the labelling of all chords
