Description

In this classic work, George Perle argues that the seemingly disparate styles of post-triadic music in fact share common structural elements.

These elements collectively imply a new tonality as 'natural' and coherent as the major-minor tonality that was the basis of a common musical language in the past.

His book describes the foundational assumptions of this post-diatonic tonality and illustrates its compositional functions with numerous musical examples.

The second edition of "Twelve-Tone Tonality" is enlarged by eleven new chapters, some of which are 'postscripts' to earlier chapters - clarifying, elucidating, and expanding upon concepts discussed in the original edition.

Others discuss new developments in the theory and practice of twelve-tone tonality, including voice-leading implications of the system and dissonance treatment.
