In his preface to the first edition of this classic text, the author writes, "What is form in music? It is the sum of those qualities in a piece of music that bind together its parts and animate the whole. It is the product of intellectual control over the musical ideas which bring a composition into existence. It is a discipline through which the inherent power of the musical materials is realized and directed to an end that is convincing and seemingly inevitable. It is all of these; yet, the complexity of any comprehensive answer is indicated by the fact that books like this are written." His new, revised presentation retains its solid, comprehensive approach and it is revitalized and updated. His reformulations of many important points, his careful editing throughout, and his introduction of concepts going beyond the thematic narrative to specific processes by which musical structure is articulated have combined to produce a significantly improved edition. Among its many features, the revised text: adds a largely new concluding chapter presenting a number of concepts of musical structure; includes a new chapter on the concerto; stresses the vital importance of looking into specific processes by which form and structure unfold; condenses and sharpens several major segments; clarifies and amplifies essential formulations; presents a number of new musical examples; adds new exercises for both group study and individual inquiry; and provides a totally new index of musical citations as well as a thoroughly reordered subject index.
