	Heinrich Schenker
		Heinrich Schenker (June 19, 1868 - January 13, 1935) was a music theorist, best known for his method of musical analysis, Schenkerian analysis.
		Schenker was born in Wisniowczyki[?] in Galicia in Poland.
		Schenker's ideas on analysis were developed in the two journals he published, Der Tonwille (1921-24) and Das Meisterwerk in der Musik (1925-30), both of which only included content by Schenker.

	Heinrich Schenker - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Schenker was born in Wisniowczyki in Galicia in Poland.
		Schenker's ideas on analysis were first explored in his Harmony (Harmonielehre, 1906) and Counterpoint (Kontrapunkt, 2 vols., 1910 and 1922), and were developed in the two journals he published, Der Tonwille (1921-24) and Das Meisterwerk in der Musik (1925-30), both of which included content exclusively by Schenker.
		That Schenker regarded his analyses as tools to be used by performers for a deeper understanding of the works they were performing is shown by the fact that his edition of Ludwig van Beethoven's late piano sonatas also include analyses of the works.

		In some cases, Schenker's observations are shown with a different symbol by the algorithm; e.g., many of the contextual slurs he used in the Foreground are found with beams in Ex 12 and Ex 13.
		Schenker's omission of the leading-tone is unique in measure 23, and leads him into an erroneous interpretation of its context.
		Heinrich Schenker (1868-1935), Austrian theorist, was the originator of this type of analysis.

		Schenker developed the concept of structural levels and coherence in tonal music.
		The interest and singularity of a composition were ascribed to the imagination and consistency with which the composer elaborated the triad into a complete piece.
		Schenker's theories have been successfully applied to nontonal music and influenced 20th-century theoreticians.

	MUSICIANS HONOR AUSTRIAN THEORIST - New York Times
		The man they came to honor at a three-day-symposium on the 50th anniversary of his death was the Austrian theorist Heinrich Schenker, whose investigations into the structural integrity of music are widely considered a vitally important contribution to 20th-century theory.
		Heinrich Schenker was born June 19, 1868, in what was then Galicia.
		Schenker, who died on Jan. 14, 1935, ''provided a framework for understanding musical compositions as complete entities, rather than on a measure-by-measure basis,'' said David Loeb, a composer and professor at the Curtis Institute of Music as well as at the Mannes School.

	Harmony (Schenker) at AllExperts
		Schenker's name did not appear on the original edition of the work: the author was listed simply as "an artist".
		Schenker makes a careful distinction between the theories of harmony (which for Schenker is concerned with relations among scale-steps) and counterpoint (which deals only with voice leading); he argues that other theorsts have confusingly mixed these two concepts.
		Schenker also stongly hints about the ways in which large spans of music can be understood as elaborations of simple structures; this idea is perhaps the most characteristic feature of his mature theory.

	SchenkerGUIDE: Who was Schenker?
		Heinrich Schenker was born in 1868 in Galicia, now part part of Poland but then ruled by Austria.
		Until fairly recently, Schenker's reputation has been based both on his rhetorical demolitions of other theorists, and pedantic definitions and clarifications that would not look out of place in a legal contract.
		Schenker's influence has been significant in various fields of study and has increased since his death.

		Schenker's approach is based on his argument that much of contemporary performance practice is rooted in the nineteenth-century cult of the virtuoso, which has resulted in an overemphasis on technical display.
		After Schenker's death, his student Oswald Jonas prepared the text for publication from Schenker's notes, eventually leaving the manuscript to his stepdaughter, Irene Schreier Scott, who entrusted the work of organizing and editing the disparate material to Jonas's friend and student Heribert Esser.

		Henrich Schenker came to regard all tonal pieces as elaborations and prolongations of a basic melodic line descending by steps to "1" and all harmonies as elaborations and prolongations of a basic harmonic progression -- "I-V-I".
		Schenker talked about the foreground and background of a composition, its basic line, its fundamental movement.

	Fractal Geometry Panorama (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Heinrich Schenker's approach to musical analysis involved most fundamentally a dissection of the work into heirarchically ordered structural levels, these levels' being ever more complex elaborations of some basis.
		In this sense, in the 1920s Schenker posited a decomposition of a piece of music exhibiting the same form over several levels, that is, a fractal aspect of the piece.
		A feature of Schenker's analysis is the notion of motivic parallelism, where a motive (defined by pitch instead of rhythm) is repeated over several levels.

	Science Fair Projects - Heinrich Schenker
		In 1932, Schenker published Five Graphic Music Analyses (Fünf Urlinie-Tafeln), analyses of five works using the technique which is now known as Schenkerian analysis.
		Following Schenker's death, his incomplete theoretical work Free Composition (Der freie Satz, 1935) was published (translated into English by T. Kreuger in 1960 as a dissertation at the University of Iowa).
		Other music theorists, for example Felix Salzer and Carl Schachter, both added to and disseminated Schenker's ideas: by the 1960s Schenkerian analysis had become one of the central analytical methods used by music theorists in Europe and the United States.

	Schenker, Heinrich: Harmony
		Harmony, Heinrich Schenker's first published work, originally appeared in German in 1906 as "New Musical Theories and Phantasies, by an Artist." Its unusual title indicates what was to be the rationale of Schenker's lifework, that artistic problems call for artistic solutions.
		Schenker's dedication to the formulation of a complete musical theory above the commonplace theoretical discussions was, in essence, his quest for a pattern in nature for music as art.
		Schenker's theory draws upon a profound understanding of the works of the masters and every proposition is illustrated by a living musical example.

		Schenker is also fascinating due to his wry sense of humor as well and ability to draw examples from the most mundane aspects of daily life to the behaviour of the notes (to back his claim that true art imitates nature.)
		Schenker however is a German Philosopher with a capital "G" and "P", as a result, if you're a typical musician looking for something move along the lines of a typical "Theory Made Simple" book, move on....
		Schenker had some views towards the fundamental harmony and how human beings perceived it that he might have considered scientific, but that are nothing short of mystical to us.

	Heinrich Schenker - THE FORUM for Ayn Rand Fans
		For the benefit of those reading this who did not attend music school, Heinrich Schenker (1868-1935) was an Austrian theorist who, among other achievements, edited all the Piano Sonatas of Beethoven, and today, Schenkerian (or “linear graphic”) analysis is immensely influential in academe.
		Moreover, it’s important to remember that while Schenker offered his system primarily as an aid to performers, there is no way a performer can afford himself the luxury of conveniently sliding from “foreground” to “background” motion as Schenker does.
		I don’t want to suggest that Schenker cannot possibly have any value—I just remain to be convinced that he makes a significant contribution to the understanding of tonal music.

	HEINRICH SCHENKER'S EARLY ANALYSES OF BEETHOVEN (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		These segments include Schenker's discussions of aesthetic issues and the work of other commentators, and contain important remarks on the relationship between the life and work of the genius.
		In this work, Schenker's formal choices and analytical language are deeply affected by his notion of livedexperienced time embodied in the musical work.
		Understood from this perspective, Schenker's own definition of his analytical practice as a "true hermeneutics" can be effectively contrasted with the recent uses of that term as employed by representatives of the socalled "new musicology."

		Schenker’s Interpretive Practice is the first comprehensive study of this century’s most influential music theorist, Heinrich Schenker.
		Since the 1960s, American theorists and musicologists have focused almost exclusively on analytical methods distilled from Schenker’s writings.
		Breaking from that tradition, Robert Snarrenberg returns to Schenker’s texts and to the humanist roots of his approach, situating Schenker’s work in the broader context of his desire to portray the richness and particularity of musical experience.

	Make Stunning Schenker Graphs with GNU Lilypond \| Linux Journal
		In the early twentieth century, Heinrich Schenker developed a method of analyzing tonal music that ties a piece's melody, harmony and form to a simple underlying musical idea.
		In this case, as in most Schenker graphs, the half notes are the notes of the fundamental structure, and they are also beamed together to highlight the structure most clearly.
		When examining the graph in Figure 1, one can see that every note in the example can be connected via slurs, ties or beams to the fundamental structure of the piece, thus showing the role of every note in the structure of the piece.
