First-rate studies. Fascinating...truly refreshing...incisive analysis. AD PARNASSUM: A JOURNAL OF 18TH- AND 19TH-CENTURY INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC. Formal Functions in Perspective breaks new ground by offering careful consideration of how best to extend Caplin's ideas about eighteenth-century form [with nineteenth-century repertory]. The book maintains remarkable focus throughout. Every chapter offers its own in-depth readings of musical form, most with several examples. Henry Klumpenhouwer and Giorgio Sanguinetti offer...enlightening, analyses. Vande Moortele's contribution, on connections between Adorno and Caplin, also offers a welcome marriage of formal analysis and broader intellectual trends. One obvious strength of this chapter is the author's ability to synthesize a huge amount of material clearly and succinctly. Nathan John Martin's study of Mozart's arias, Steven Huebner's discussion of texture in Verdi, and especially Harald Krebs's study of sentence structures in Schumann's songs all reward careful reading. MUSIC & LETTERS [Eric Hogrefe] Formal Functions in Perspective goes beyond the traditional analysis to look at other types of formal structure and relationships in music. The essays deal with a wide variety of forms -- the symphonic form, arias, sonata-form arias, the lieder, and chamber works -- and the book includes wonderful examples and tables that clearly identify the form parts and transitions. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty.

Synopsis
Among the more striking developments in contemporary North American music theory is the renewed centrality of issues of musical form (Formenlehre). Formal Functions in Perspective presents thirteen studies that engage with musical form in a variety of ways. The essays, written by established and emerging scholars from the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, and the European continent, run the chronological gamut from Haydn and Clementi to Leibowitz and Adorno; they discuss Lieder, arias, and choral music as well as symphonies, concerti, and chamber works; they treat Haydn's humor and Saint-Sa ns's politics, while discussions of particular pieces range from Mozart's arias to Schoenberg's Verkl rte Nacht. Running through the essays and connecting them thematically is the central notion of formal function. CONTRIBUTORS: Brian Black, L.

    Good price for the book. Shipping was slow. Messaged the seller a week after I ordered it to see when they were going to ship it. They responded immediately and said it would be shipped out soon. Got it about a week later. Book did arrive in the date range that they provided though  Minimal packaging. Book is Shrink wrapped and only wrapped in thin plastic. No bubble wrap. Book is in good shape though.
