Schoenbergs Models For Beginners In Composition

Models for Beginners in Composition (1943) represents one of Arnold Schoenberg's earliest attempts to reach a broad American audience through his pedagogical ideas. In this newly revised edition, Gordon Root incorporates many of Schoenberg's corrections to the original manuscript. Significant commentary also traces Schoenberg's development of the two-measure phrase as the main component of his pedagogical method.
