 Recommended Anthology October 27, 2005
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
I'm a student at the Peabody Conservatory, so I've used music anthologies for a few years now and I've found that Burkhart's Anthology for Musical Analysis (6th edition) is a praiseworthy version. Some comments from a student's point of view: the book is well organized, with relevant examples (including orchestral scores) and informative introductions to each of the five sections as well as to each musical example; the examples are easy to read and to mark up; it is spiral bound and, while easy to page through, is loose and rather heavy, making it a bit cumbersome to carry to class; my biggest complaint is about its exorbitant price-I don't know why these no-frills music books have to be so costly. But if you are looking for a good anthology and are willing to pay, Burkhart's is a terrific choice. Extra benefits include: two appendices, one with Jazz harmony and one with chorale harmonizations; translations of foreign terms; and two good indexes, one general and one of chords, sequences, and modulations.
THE basic music companion December 22, 1999
19 out of 21 found this review helpful
Dr. Burkhart has compiled a marvelous compendium of approachable music for analysis -- particularly of "common practice period" examples. In addition, he includes works, in increasing difficulty in that they start to lead away from various conventions of our Western ears' expectations. In sample or example, Burkhart leads us from Baroque tonality to the start of atonality through Wagner's "Tristan und Isole" and beyond. The scores are large enough to include easy reading (much "white" around the notes). The newer paper is more receptive to pencil marking. In addition, the binding has been improved since ? This is a must for the "classical" listener who reads music. It is a great companion for any analysis or form class.
