Written for both students and teachers, the authors central concern is with 20th-century approaches to two kinds of music: that based on tonality (the language of Bach, Beethoven, and Brahms), and secondly, antonal and serial composition, with Schoenberg and Webern the representative masters. The book concludes with an introduction to the increasingly important subject of structuralism and musical semiotics.
