Backward-looking
Good introduction to 12 tone composition
Twelve-tone music is out-dated
12-tone yes, but so much more. The emphasis on processes and techniques that are beyond basic may make the title seem misleading to the unprepared reader.But there is so much more to this book than its presentation of serial methods.Once you see through this 12-tone layer, however, the book really is also about composition of music. The 12-tone techniques themselves occupy only the last third of the book.Even though the author does seem to express a somewhat veiled disdain for the older "backward-looking" tonal system, Wourinen begins with discussion, examples, and exercises that help the student understand the fundamental differences between tonal and pan-tonal melodic and harmonic organization.The emphasis is still on the requirements and possiblities of a twelve tone row, but the student who wishes to understand many different compositional possibilities will learn a lot from these early chapters. More than this, however, every chapter includes discussions of principles and processes of composition in general.Wourinen points out the decisions composers must make at every stage of a composition.He paints a vivid picture of how a composer must form a work as a whole from the beginning, gradually bringing all the parts into greater focus and detail.And he gives detailed instruction and exercise in the process of revision, noting what kind of changes constitute a surface revision versus a more substantial revision in structure. It is this inclusion of general information about the composer's real tasks that elevate this book to better than average.The gems of experience and insight that go beyond the main topic of the book remind me of the depths of knowledge one also finds in Schoenberg's texts for counterpoint and harmony.The book is smaller and lighter than Schoenberg, and so easy to read and follow.It is not the only composition text one would want, but even people not interested in pan-tonal style could gain insights from reading it.
