This course is intended to serve as an introduction to Schenkerian Theory & Analysis. Our text will be the first six chapters and appendix of Allen Cadwallader and David Gagné, Analysis of Tonal Music: A Schenkerian Approach, thrid ed. (Oxford University Press, 2015), in a specially prepared edition unique to the Campus Bookstore (ISBN 978-0-19-022563-6). Students who feel the need to brush up on their tonal theory are advised to consult the textbooks below (if requested, I can put copies on reserve in the arts media library).

Harmonic Review: Graduate Review of Tonal Theory, Steven G. Laitz and Christopher Bartlette (Oxford University Press, 2009); Harmonic Practice in Tonal Music, Robert Gauldin (W.W. Norton, 2004); Tonal Harmony, Stefan Kostka and Dorothy Payne (MacGraw-Hill, 2003).

Assignments: Read all assigned materials, due preparatory analysis, play the assigned work and most importantly listen to the pieces. Participation is of the utmost importance, as we will do a great deal of the work together in class. There will be weekly analytical assignments featuring harmonic and structural analysis, guided by short questions. Assignments will not be graded, but I will check everyone's in class. There will be a midterm exam in class on Feb. 6, and, a take-home final exam due Mar. 20, and a brief 2-3 p. graph with commentary.
