{"product_id":"9781438496337","title":"A Theory of Harmony : With a New Introduction by Paul Wilkinson","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe classic work on Levy's theory of negative harmony.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eErnst Levy was a visionary Swiss pianist, composer, and teacher who developed an approach to music theory that has come to be known as \"negative harmony.\" Levy's theories have had a wide influence, from young British performer\/composer Jacob Collier to jazz musicians like Steve Coleman. His posthumous text, A Theory of Harmony, summarizes his innovative ideas. A Theory of Harmony is a highly original explanation of the harmonic language of the modern era, illuminating the approaches of diverse styles of music. By breaking through age-old conceptions, Levy was able to reorient the way we experience musical harmony.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBritish composer\/music pedagogue Paul Wilkinson has written a new introduction that offers multiple points of entry to Levy's work to make this text more accessible for a new generation of students, performers, and theorists. He relates Levy's work to innovations in improvisation, jazz, twentieth-century classical music, and the theoretical writings of a wide range of musical mavericks, including Harry Partch, Hugo Riemann, and David Lewin. Wilkinson shows how A Theory of Harmony continues to inspire original musical expression across multiple musical genres.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"State University of New York Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49861925961976,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":68.44,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/8208\/6904\/files\/9781438496337-1.jpg?v=1783698717","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.au\/products\/9781438496337","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
