The highly chromatic music of the late 1800s and early 1900s includes some of the best-known works by Gustav Mahler, Richard Strauss, Cesar Franck, and Hugo Wolf. In this book, Daniel Harrison builds on nineteenth-century music theory to provide an original and illuminating method for analyzing chromatic music. Combining theoretical innovations with a sound historical understanding,Harmonic Function in Chromatic Musicwill aid anyone studying this pivotal period of Western music history.
“This book will clearly be of great importance to music theorists and historians alike.”—Patrick McCreless, Yale University
Daniel Harrisonis the Allen Forte Professor of Music Theory at Yale University.
