商品簡介
Pianist, music critic, and musicologist Edlund says that he was immediately skeptical of Schenkerian analysis when he first encountered it as a student, and has become more skeptical the more he has learnt about it since. He agrees that in analyzing music it is most productive to realize that listeners pay less attention to some events and more attention to others, but deplores that Schenkarian analysis uses this idea for the sole purpose of forcing Ursatze onto tonal music in order to demonstrate that the music exhibits tonal unity. There are so many other and and more worthwhile things to say about music, he says, so much else to discover, if scholars stop treating is as a quasi-visual, through-and-through hierarchical thing, and describe it as a process.
