Content:
In this ground-breaking exploration of late nineteenth-century music and music theory, Daniel Harrison illuminates the structure and idioms of highly chromatic music, long resistant to investigation. Reanimating Hugo Riemann's notion of harmonic function Harrison explores the technical bases of post-Wagnerian harmony and ideas ancillary to it. He engages the work of Brahms, Franck, Strauss, Mahler, Reger, Busoni, and Wolf, creating new analytical methods to penetrate their harmonic complexities
Content:
Applicable on a wide scale not only to this repertory, Harrison's lucid explications of abstract theoretical concepts provide new insights into the workings of tonal systems in general
Content:
One of Harrison's central innovations is his reconstruction of the notion of harmony. Harrison understands harmonic power to flow not from chords as such but from the constituents of chords, reckoned for the most part as scale degrees of a key. This approach allows the analyst access to any harmonic formation, not just to one recognized either by convention or by consequence of a theoretical system
