Central to his concern was his concept of the \"musical idea,\" which represents the wholeness of the musical work and embraces Schoenberg's notions of motive, gestalt, phrase, theme, rhythm, harmony, and form. Ultimately, the musical idea is the vision of the composer by which a musical work achieves unity in relation to the means by which the work is comprehended in its unity by the listener.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003cbr\u003e  Foreword (2006) by Walter Frisch\u003cbr\u003e  List of Abbreviations of Cited Sources\u003cbr\u003e  Editors' Preface\u003cbr\u003e  Acknowledgments\u003cbr\u003e  Commentary\u003cbr\u003e  Schoenberg's View of Art\u003cbr\u003e  Schoenberg's Preface\u003cbr\u003e  The Musical Idea\u003cbr\u003e  Comprehensibility and Coherence\u003cbr\u003e  Theory of Form\u003cbr\u003e  The Constructive Function of Harmony\u003cbr\u003e  Conclusion\u003cbr\u003e The Musical Idea and the Logic, Technique, and Art of Its Presentation\u003cbr\u003e  Preface and Overview\u003cbr\u003e  Preface\u003cbr\u003e  Title Page\u003cbr\u003e  Principles of the Presentation of the Idea\u003cbr\u003e  Plan of the Book\u003cbr\u003e  The Profundity of the Idea and Its Realization as a Standard\u003cbr\u003e  The Musical Idea and the Logic, Technique, and Art of Its Presentation\u003cbr\u003e  Idea (1 and 2)\u003cbr\u003e  The Idea in the Contrapuntal Art of Composition and Its Presentation\u003cbr\u003e  Principles of Construction\u003cbr\u003e  Comprehensibility\u003cbr\u003e  Laws of Comprehensibility\u003cbr\u003e  Coherence\u003cbr\u003e  The Laws of Musical Coherence\u003cbr\u003e  Elements of Form\u003cbr\u003e  The Parts of a Piece\u003cbr\u003e  Part\u003cbr\u003e  Elements of Form\u003cbr\u003e  Phrase\u003cbr\u003e  Gestalt\u003cbr\u003e  Grundgestalt and Motive\u003cbr\u003e  The Difference Between Gestalt and Phrase\u003cbr\u003e  Features of the Motive\u003cbr\u003e  Statement\u003cbr\u003e  Stable Formation\u003cbr\u003e  Loose Formation\u003cbr\u003e  Theme\u003cbr\u003e  Melody\u003cbr\u003e  Sonority as a Formative Element\u003cbr\u003e  Rhythm\u003cbr\u003e  Rhythm\u003cbr\u003e  Classification of Rhythms\u003cbr\u003e  Accentuation and Nonaccentuation\u003cbr\u003e  Formal Procedures\u003cbr\u003e  [Formal Procedures]\u003cbr\u003e  Articulation\u003cbr\u003e  Change, Variation, Variant, Varying\u003cbr\u003e  Kinds of Variation\u003cbr\u003e  Coherence of \"New Components\"\u003cbr\u003e  Mirror Forms\u003cbr\u003e  Close\u003cbr\u003e  Cadencing\u003cbr\u003e  Cadential Fall\u003cbr\u003e  Kinds of Connection\u003cbr\u003e  Technique of Joining\u003cbr\u003e  Condensation\u003cbr\u003e  Dissolution, Liquidation\u003cbr\u003e  Tendency of the Smallest Notes\u003cbr\u003e  The Structural Capacities of the Scale\u003cbr\u003e  Wave-Shaped Progression\u003cbr\u003e  Contrasts (Contrasting Themes)\u003cbr\u003e  Digression from the Main Idea\u003cbr\u003e  Principal Idea, Subsidiary Idea\u003cbr\u003e  Subordinate Theme\u003cbr\u003e  Secondary, Tertiary, etc. Gestalten and Motives\u003cbr\u003e  The Shaping of Principal and Subordinate (Accompanying) Voices\u003cbr\u003e  Development Section\u003cbr\u003e  Sequences\u003cbr\u003e  Intensification\u003cbr\u003e  Does Repetition Have an Intensifying Effect?\u003cbr\u003e  Voice (Independent)\u003cbr\u003e  Introduction (1 and 2)\u003cbr\u003e  Preparation\u003cbr\u003e  Extramusical Means of Coherence\u003cbr\u003e  Fantasy\u003cbr\u003e  Description of All Forms\u003cbr\u003e  Miscellaneous\u003cbr\u003e  Performance and Gestalt\u003cbr\u003e  The Sense of Rit. and Accel.\u003cbr\u003e  Relaxation\u003cbr\u003e  Symmetry\u003cbr\u003e  Origin of Repetitions\u003cbr\u003e  Primitive Principles\u003cbr\u003e  Popular Music and Melody\u003cbr\u003e  Harmony\u003cbr\u003e  The Constructive Function of Harmony\u003cbr\u003e  Addendum\u003cbr\u003e  Keywords Still to Be Indexed\u003cbr\u003e  Keywords\u003cbr\u003e  Concordance of Terms\u003cbr\u003e  Appendix 1Descriptions of the Gedanke Manuscripts\u003cbr\u003e  Appendix 2Contents of Manuscript No. 10, Listed in Their Original Order\u003cbr\u003e  Appendix 3German Texts of Unpublished Gedanke Manuscripts Referred to in the Commentary\u003cbr\u003e  Notes\u003cbr\u003e  Bibliography\u003cbr\u003e  Index of Musical Examples\u003cbr\u003e  Name Index\u003cbr\u003e  Subject Index\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Indiana University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52676746903832,"sku":"9780253218353","price":20.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-musical-idea-and-the-logic-technique-and-art-of-its-presentation-new-paperback-english-edition-paperback-softback-9780253218353","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
