Críticas:

"Schoenberg would have been fascinated by this book, with its outstanding intellectual vision and its steps towards a reconciliation between notions of tonality and twentieth-century pitch structure."--Jonathan Dunsby, "Music and Letters

Reseña del editor:

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.
