description: In this book an eminent musical theorist presents the first systematic and in-depth study of the early atonal works of avant-garde Austrian composer Anton Webern. Analyzing such elements as pitch, register, timbre, rhythm, form, and text setting, Allen Forte shows how Webern displaced the functional connections of traditional tonality to create a totally new sonic universe.
