Hardcover with dust jacket in good condition with some wear to edges and head of spine. Corners clipped. Covers are black with silver lettering to spine in very good condition. Pages clean and unmarked with many illustrations. This book has been widely recognized as the definitive work in its field ever since its original publication in 1962. In his first chapter the author examines the basic postulates. His second chapter is the most comprehensive study of predodecaphonic atonality that has so far appeared. Third chapter, he analyzes works by Scriabin, Bartok and Stravinsky, as well as Schoenberg, for he wishes to stress that the serial concept in itself is not unique to twelve-tone music. He not only offers a comprehensive description of the technical procedures used by these composers, but also a searching and critical examination of their methods.
