The second volume of studies based on the work of Heinrich Schenker, now recognised as the twenty-first century's most influential figure in the areas of music theory and analysis. The first section of the book contains three archival studies that derive from the contents of Schenker's Nachlass, recently made available to scholars. Schenker's unpublished papers also supplement several of the analytical studies in the second, larger section of the book. Eleven essays fall into four groups: studies in the Classic and Romantic repertory, studies in twentieth-century music, rhythmic studies and studies in the theory of Schenker's fundamental analytical constructs, the Urline and the Ursatz.

Second volume of studies based on the work of Heinrich Schenker.
Reviews
"Because of its comprehensive nature and the quality of its articles, this second installment of Schenker Studies is perhaps the best book now available for surveying the most recent trends in Schenkerian analysis, and it can be used for that purpose either in a classroom setting or by individual readers." Notes
"As a whole, Schenker Studies 2 does a commendable job of interpreting certain difficult aspects of Schenker's theory that routinely draw sharp criticism." Journal of the Music Theory Society of New York State
