The opening chapters are a resume of the basic principles of the early Theory of Harmony; the subsequent chapters demonstrate the concept of 'monotonality', whereby all modulations to different keys within a movement are analysed not in relation to each other but in terms of the irrelationship to one central tonality (tonic) as the centre of all harmonic change. ...

First published in 1948, Structural Functions of Harmony is Schoenberg's last theoretical work and contains his ultimate thoughts on classical and romantic harmony. The opening chapters are a resume of the basic principles of the early Theory of Harmony; the subsequent chapters demonstrate the concept of 'monotonality', whereby all modulations to different keys within a movement are analysed not in relation to each other but in terms of the irrelationship to one central tonality (tonic) as the centre of all harmonic change. Schoenberg's music examples range from the entire development sections of classical symphonies to analyses of the harmonic progressions of Strauss, Debussy, Reger, and his own early music.

This is an essential book to fully understand harmony for the advanced student in the subject. It is not designed for beginners but for the one that already know the subject quite well and, ideally, has studied with Schoenberg's treatise on Harmony. In terms of the language, it is quite clear, although extremely dense (Schoenberg's treatise on Harmony is resumed in four pages at the beginning) and perhaps a bit arid from time to time. However, the clarity of the musical concepts and, most of all, the beauty of the musical examples make the book a "must have" in a musician's reference library.
