That mid-to-late nineteenth-century chromatic tonality challenges diatonic-based prolongational models of tonality is a well-known assertion. Recently, the field has embraced alternative frameworks, especially neo-Riemannian and transformational approaches, to account for coherence in the works of composers such as Richard Wagner or Richard Strauss. These approaches, however, only occasionally capture the extent to which this repertoire exhibits the prolongational procedures operative in classical tonality despite the unfamiliarity of the chromatic syntax. My dissertation investigates how this chromatic syntax can be approached as an extension of familiar diatonic models. My broader theoretic basis involves recognizing a proliferation of harmonic polysemy, whereby chords that have commonplace sonorities do not function in ways traditionally associated with that sonority. To account for this disjunction, I develop a model of Functional Interval Progressions (FIPs), which proposes dominant function is a product not of sonority, nor an isolated leading tone, but rather a combination of a univalent dissonance (a tritone or diminished seventh) combined with its conventional resolution: in short, I suggest function is a product of motion. I apply this principle in various ways. Firstly, I postulate the possibility of chromatically altered diminished-seventh chords: these chords often have the sonority of commonplace tonal chords, such as dominant or half-diminished sevenths, but their behaviour is more consistent with diminished-seventh chords. The presence and resolution of a diminished-seventh interval, I posit, overwrites the centrifugal nature of the chromatic alteration. I then export this principle to triads, arguing that a similar half-enharmonic reinterpretation can explain what Lorenz (1933) refers to as apparent consonances. Contrary to Cohn (2004/2012), I view these triads then as tonal dissonances, rather than as acoustic consonances. Lastly, I argue for a contextual remodeling of chordal inversion, following Schenker's (1922) notion of "the roothood-tendency of the lowest tone," suggesting that in certain cases inverted chords project the function of their bass, rather than their root. I conclude by applying these principles to larger-scale analysis, proposing that through a more thorough understanding of the surface-level harmonic syntax, deeper-level prolongations- and their relationships to one another-can be adduced with greater certainty and clarity in highly chromatic music.

David Kopp's book develops a model of chromatic chord relations in nineteenth-century music by composers such as Schubert, Beethoven, Chopin, Schumann and Brahms. The emphasis is on explaining chromatic third relations and the pivotal role they play in theory and practice. The book traces conceptions of harmonic system and of chromatic third relations from Rameau through nineteenth-century theorists such as Marx, Hauptmann and Riemann, to the seminal twentieth-century theorists Schenker and Schoenberg and on to the present day. Drawing on tenets of nineteenth-century harmonic theory, contemporary transformation theory and the author's own approach, the book presents a clear and elegant means for characterizing commonly acknowledged but loosely defined elements of chromatic harmony, and integrates them as fully fledged entities into a chromatically based conception of harmonic system. The historical and theoretical argument is supplemented by plentiful analytic examples.

This textbook takes a linear, functional approach to tonal music in the common-practice era, explaining how both harmonic and melodic forces contribute to the development of musical structures. Coverage includes the basic elements of music; functional diatonic harmony, modulations, and sequences; the common procedures of chromatic harmony; and advanced chromatic techniques. The second edition contains a broader range of musical examples than the first, featuring more world music, popular music, jazz, and music by women. Annotation (booknews.com).

How does musical harmony engage listeners in relations of desire? Where does this desire come from? Author Kenneth Smith seeks to answer these questions by analyzing works from the turn of the twentieth- century that are both harmonically enriched and psychologically complex. Desire in Chromatic Harmony yields a new theory of how chromatic chord progressions direct the listener on intricate journeys through harmonic space, mirroring the tensions of the psyche found in Schopenhauer, Freud, Lacan, Lyotard, and Deleuze. Smith extends this mode of enquiry into sophisticated music theory, while exploring philosophically engaged European and American composers such as Richard Strauss, Alexander Skryabin, Josef Suk, Charles Ives, and Aaron Copland. Focusing on harmony and chord progression, the book drills down into the diatonic undercurrent beneath densely chromatic and dissonant surfaces. From the obsession with death and mourning in Suk's asrael Symphony to an exploration of "perversion" in Strauss's elektra; from the Sufi mysticism of Szymanowski's Song of the Night to the failed fantasy of the American dream in Copland's The Tender Land, Desire in Chromatic Harmony cuts a path through the dense forests of chromatic complexity, revealing the psychological make-up of post-Wagnerian psychodynamic music.

Carl Dahlhaus was without doubt the premier musicologist of the postwar generation, a giant whose recent death was mourned the world over. Translated here for the first time, this fundamental work on the development of tonality shows his complete mastery of the theory of harmony. In it Dahlhaus explains the modern concepts of harmony and tonality, reviewing in the process the important theories of Rameau, Sechter, Ftis, Riemann, and Schenker. He contrasts the familiar premises of chordal composition with the lesser known precepts of intervallic composition, the basis for polyphonic music in the late Middle Ages and Renaissance. Numerous quotations from theoretical treatises document how early music was driven forward not by progressions of chords but by simple progressions of intervals. Exactly when did composers transform intervallic composition into chordal composition? Modality into tonality? Dahlhaus provides extensive analyses of motets by Josquin, frottole by Cara and Tromboncino, and madrigals by Monteverdi to demonstrate how, and to what degree, such questions can be answered. In his bold speculations, in his magisterial summaries, in his command of eight centuries of music and writings on music, and in his deep understanding of European history and culture, Carl Dahlhaus sets a standard that will seldom be equalled.
