About the author

Heinrich Schenker (19 June 1868 – 14 January 1935) was an Austrian music theorist, composer, pianist, and editor whose reductive analytical method, now termed "Schenkerian analysis", elucidates the hierarchical structure of tonal music by tracing elaborations from surface details back to a fundamental Ursatz derived from linear progressions and triadic arpeggiations.
