Description
This clearly presented and richly illustrated work, featuring annotated examples, begins with a general approach to musical scores, distinguishing between different types of writing, as well as the nature and characteristics of musical ideas. It then proceeds to study the overall framework of the work, including its tonal and formal structures.
The author then highlights the main elements used in this musical language (harmony, phrasing, rhythm, music/text relationship), concluding with a discussion of the score's stylistic aspects. Particularly noteworthy are the sections he devotes to dialogue, rewriting, different scales, and expanded tonality, as well as his observations on initial momentum, rhythmic flexibility, and expressive silences.
From the global approach to the detailed analysis, Anthony GIRARD has designed here a very clear manual, useful to the apprentice musician as well as the student of musicology.
