Appendix: An Interview with Edward Laufer - Stephen Slottow
Matthew Brown is Professor of Music Theory at the Eastman School of Music.
[E]xpands the literature on Schenker studies in important and
fascinating ways. It belongs on the bookshelf of any Schenkerian
but would also be a wonderful resource for intermediate and
advanced classes in Schenkerian analysis.
*NOTES: JOURNAL OF THE MUSIC LIBRARY ASSOCIATION*
The analyses in the book are of a high quality [and treat] form and
structure, the role of motif (a trademark of Laufer), and the
relationship between voice-leading structure and musical meaning.
Just as aspects of form and design can influence voice-leading
structures, Schenkerian studies such as these have much to
contribute to form studies. A welcome contribution to the
Schenkerian analytical corpus.
