Twelve-tone Tonality Second Edition - George Perle

In This Classic Work, George Perle Argues That The Seemingly Disparate Styles Of Post-triadic Music In Fact Share Common Structural Elements. These Elements Collectively Imply A Tonality As Natural And Coherent As The Major-minor Tonality That Was The Basis Of A Common Musical Language In The Past. His Book Describes The Foundational Assumptions Of This Post-diatonic Tonality And Illustrates Its Compositional Functions With Numerous Musical Examples.the Second Edition Of Twelve-tone Tonality Is Enlarged By Eleven Chapters, Some Of Which Are Postscripts To Earlier Chapters-clarifying, Elucidating, And Expanding Upon Concepts Discussed In The Original Edition.
