About this product
Product Information
Jack Boss takes a unique approach to analyzing Arnold Schoenberg's twelve-tone music, adapting the composer's notion of a 'musical idea' - problem, elaboration, solution - as a framework and focusing on the large-scale coherence of the whole piece. The book begins by defining 'musical idea' as a large, overarching process involving conflict between musical elements or situations, elaboration of that conflict, and resolution, and examines how such conflicts often involve symmetrical pitch and interval shapes that are obscured in some way. Containing close analytical readings of a large number of Schoenberg's key twelve-tone works, including Moses und Aron, the Suite for Piano Op. 25, the Fourth Quartet, and the String Trio, the study provides the reader with a clearer understanding of this still-controversial, challenging, but vitally important modernist composer.

'Future scholars interested in following Boss's lead will benefit immeasurably from his careful analyses, his synthesis of previous scholarship, and, perhaps most of all, the provocative questions his work raises.' Zachary Bernstein, Journal of Music Theory

Table of Content
1. Musical idea and symmetrical ideal; 2. Suite for Piano, Op. 25: varieties of idea in Schoenberg's earliest twelve-tone music; 3. Woodwind Quintet, Op. 26: the twelve-tone idea reanimates a large musical form; 4. Three Satires, Op. 28, #3: the earliest example of the 'symmetrical ideal' in a (more or less) completely combinatorial context; 5. Piano Piece, Op. 33a: the 'symmetrical ideal' conflicts with and is reconciled to row order; 6. Fourth String Quartet, Op. 37, mvt. I: two motives give rise to contrasting row forms, meters, textures and tonalities (and are reconciled) within a large sonata form; 7. Moses und Aron: an incomplete musical idea represents an unresolved conflict between communicating with God using word or image; 8. String Trio, Op. 45: a musical idea (and a near-death experience) is expressed as a conflict between alternative row forms.

As described... A+++ on shipping and price... C (and that's being generous) on time. If you have forever and a month of Sundays to wait around then by all means do so. The price was great and the seller communicated wonderfully and the item was packed well so it wasn't damaged during transit all A pluses in my book just took a little bit longer than I anticipated.
