To the growing list of Pendragon Press publications devoted to the work of Heinrich Schenker, we wish to announce the addition of this much-needed bibliography. The author, a student of Allen Forte, has created a work useful to a wide range of researchers music theorists, musicologists, music librarians and teachers. The Guide is the largest Schenkerian reference work ever published. At nearly 600 pages, it contains 3600 entries (2200 principal, 1400 secondary) representing the work of 1475 authors. Fifteen broad groupings encompass seventy topical headings, many of which are divided and subdivided again, resulting in a total of 271 headings under which entries are collected.

Portrays Schoenberg's atonal music as successions of motives and pitch-class sets that flesh out 'musical idea' and 'basic image' frameworks.

This monograph represents a study completed in which the author arrived at an answer to the following question: how can the harmonic organization of Schoenberg's Six Little Piano Pieces, op. 19 be understood if, as a premise, this composer's atonal language be regarded as an outgrowth of the traditional Western musical language? This answer, which constitutes a way of understanding this organization, consists of results which have been obtained primarily via the author's own personal study of the music as seen on the printed score, as heard when played at the piano, and as conceptualized in terms of the above-mentioned premise.
