Guidelines for Style Analysis, now in its expanded second edition, sets forth Jan LaRue's original, penetrating, and adaptable approach to the understanding of musical works. LaRue provides a consistent point of view from which music of any historical period can be examined. His style-analytic method insures the close examination of all musical dimensions and elements, an understanding of their functions and interrelations, and a firm basis for evaluation and comparison. Guidelines presents a codification of various ways of looking at music, within a comprehensive framework. LaRue discusses in detail each aspect of the style-analytic routine, illustrating points with illuminating examples and diagrams. Guidelines and Models, taken together, give the teacher and student, the listener and performer, new insight into the nature of musical shape and movement, thereby creating heightened awareness of the many facets of the musical experience.
