Free Composition

Free Composition

"Free Composition" ("Der freie Satz") is a treatise by Heinrich Schenker, and possibly Schenker's most well-known work. The third volume of "New Musical Theories and Fantasies" (preceded by "Harmony" and "Counterpoint"), it was first published posthumously in 1935.

"Free Composition" aims to present a complete and systematic outline of Schenker's mature theory, relying heavily on his previous writings. It is divided into three parts, dealing respectively with background, middleground, and foreground levels of structure.
