''SchenkerGUIDE'' is an accessible overview of Heinrich Schenker's complex but fascinating approach to the analysis of tonal music. The book has emerged out of a widely used website which has been offering straightforward explanations of Schenkerian analysis to undergraduate students since 2001. Divided into four parts, ''SchenkerGUIDE'' offers a step-by-step method to tackling this often difficult system of analysis. Part I is an introduction to Schenkerian analysis, outlining the concepts that involved in analysis. Part II outlines a unique and detailed working method to help students to get started on the process of analysis. Part III puts some of these ideas into practice by exploring the basics of a Schenkerian approach to form, register, motives and dramatic structure. Part IV provides a series of exercises from the simple to the more sophisticated, along with hints and tips for their completion.
