Unfoldings by Carl Schachter
Carl Schachter is, by common consent, one of the three or four most important music theorists currently at work in North America. He is the preeminent practitioner in the world of the Schenkerian approach to the music of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, which focuses on the linear organization of music and now dominates discussions of the standard repertoire in university courses and in professional journals. His articles have appeared in a variety of journals, including some that are obscure or hard to obtain. This volume gathers some of his finest essays, including those on rhythm in tonal music, Schenkerian theory, and text setting, as well as a pair of analytical monographs, on Bach's Fugue in B-flat major from Volume 1 of the Well-Tempered Clavier and Chopin's Fantasy, Op. 49.Since 1956, Carl Schachter has been teaching music theory and analysis at Mannes College. He was Dean of the College from 1962 to 1966, and he was Chair of the Techniques of Music Division. He stepped down as Distinguished Professor of Music at Queens College and the CUNY Graduate School in July 1996, after teaching there since 1971. He joined the faculty of The Juilliard School after retiring from Queens College. In addition to the United States, he has talked and taught in France, England, Italy, Germany, Austria, Spain, Finland, Estonia, Holland, Mexico, and Australia. as well as Canada.
