A Theory of Harmony: With A New Introduction by Paul Wilkinson by Ernst Levy Pap

Description: A Theory of Harmony by Ernst Levy, Siegmund Levarie, Paul Wilkinson The classic work on Levys theory of negative harmony. FORMAT Paperback CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Ernst Levy was a visionary Swiss pianist, composer, and teacher who developed an approach to music theory that has come to be known as "negative harmony." Levys theories have had a wide influence, from young British performer/composer Jacob Collier to jazz musicians like Steve Coleman. His posthumous text, A Theory of Harmony, summarizes his innovative ideas. A Theory of Harmony is a highly original explanation of the harmonic language of the modern era, illuminating the approaches of diverse styles of music. By breaking through age-old conceptions, Levy was able to reorient the way we experience musical harmony.British composer/music pedagogue Paul Wilkinson has written a new introduction that offers multiple points of entry to Levys work to make this text more accessible for a new generation of students, performers, and theorists. He relates Levys work to innovations in improvisation, jazz, twentieth-century classical music, and the theoretical writings of a wide range of musical mavericks, including Harry Partch, Hugo Riemann, and David Lewin. Wilkinson shows how A Theory of Harmony continues to inspire original musical expression across multiple musical genres. Author Biography Ernst Levy (1895–1981) was a Swiss music theorist, composer, and conductor.

Comments on the Text by Hugo Kauder Review "Ernest Levys idea [was that] any chord in any key, has a reflection, a polar opposite … based on rotating every single note around the axis of the key center." — Jacob Collier"The extreme symmetry that Levy is dealing with … reminds me of some of the work Ive done as well as elements of Bartóks work, Henry Threadgills work, W.A. Mathieu, Howard Boatwright, Schwaller de Lubicz, and ancient Egypt, Pythagoras, Plato, and the work of the ancient Greeks, Babylonian ideas of reciprocity and the work of Umayalpuram Sivaraman and other related Vedic symmetrical ideas." — Steve Coleman Details ISBN1438496338 Author Paul Wilkinson Pages 132 Publisher State University of New York Press Year 2024 ISBN-13 9781438496337 Format Paperback Publication Date 2024-01-01 Imprint State University of New York Press Subtitle With A New Introduction by Paul Wilkinson Place of Publication Albany, NY Country of Publication United States Edited by Siegmund Levarie Illustrations Total Illustrations: 111 Audience General US Release Date 2024-01-01 DEWEY 781.25 We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
