by Arnold Schoenberg (Author)
This harmony text ranges over such diverse subjects as nature, artistic creativeness, culture, and aesthetic theories of the past. The author writes of his fascination with sound; on the idea that musical order may be manifested in many inconcievable ways; and questions the need of order in music. Ninety music examples are included.
