Edward Aldwell

Edward Aldwell

Edward Aldwell (January 30 1938 in Portland, Oregon – May 28 2006 in Valhalla, New York) was an American pianist, music theorist and pedagogue.

He was particularly renowned for his Bach interpretations, and he recorded several works, most notably the complete Well-Tempered Clavier on Nonesuch. He taught at The Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia and at the Mannes College of Music in New York City.

As a theorist, he was an expert in Schenkerian analysis, and he was the co-author (with Carl Schachter) of one of the standard theory textbooks used throughout the United States, "Harmony and Voice Leading" (first published in 1979).
