Product Description

This work examines the 20th century musical development of atonality and serialism, and questions whether the esteem that serialism has been accorded is wholly justified. Schoffman formulates criteria that are applicable to both serialism and traditional harmony and explores the negative aspects of serialism. In its four sections, the book examines the indeterminacy of progression, the indeterminacy of members of chords, chords in serial music, and destructive aspects of indeterminacy. References and an index are also included.
