- Title
Harmony and Voice Leading in the Music of Stravinsky.
- Authors
STRAUS, JOSEPH N.
- Abstract
Much of Stravinsky's music elaborates two structural fifths separated by some interval. Typically, one of those fifths is deployed harmonically (with various possible harmonic fillings) and the other is deployed melodically as a perfect fourth (with various possible melodic fillings). The harmony and voice leading of Stravinsky's music thus often prolong a fundamentally bi-quintal structure. The analyses that appear in this article are drawn from a substantial Analytical Catalogue (available as an appendix to the online version of this issue of Music Theory Spectrum) that comprises ninety-five individual passages from forty-four different works--that is, from virtually every one of Stravinsky's compositions from Petrushka (1911) to Agon (1957).
