Description: This book introduces a theory of music analysis--a language and conceptual framework--that analysts can use to delve into aspects of segmentation and associative organization in a wide range of repertoire from the Baroque to the present. Includes close analyses of works by Beethoven, Debussy, Nancarrow, Riley, Feldman, and Morris.
Review Quotes: The tremendous range of application shows without a doubt that this book achieves its goal of opening new lines of inquiry for individual pieces, repertoires, and issues in contemporary music theory.-- "JOURNAL OF MUSIC THEORY"
