Harmony in Haydn and Mozart

Integrating Schenkerian tools and an innovative approach to har-

mony, David Damschroder provides numerous penetrating analyses
of works by Haydn and Mozart. A series of introductory chapters
assist readers in developing their analytical capacity. Beginning with
short excerpts from string quartets, the study proceeds by assessing
the inner workings of twelve expositions from Haydn piano sonatas,
six arias in G Minor from Mozart operas, and three rondos in D Major
from piano concertos by Haydn and Mozart. In the Masterworks
section that follows, Damschroder presents detailed analyses of six
movements from symphonies, chamber music, and opera by Haydn
and Mozart, and compares his outcomes with those of other analysts,
including V. Kofi Agawu, Robert O. Gjerdingen, James Hepokoski and
Warren Darcy, Carl Schachter, and James Webster. The book repre-
sents an important contribution to modern analytical discourse on a
treasured body of music, and an assessment of recent accomplish-
ments within that realm.

david damschroder is Professor of Music Theory at the

University of Minnesota. His current research focuses on harmony
in tonal music, a project that began with a careful examination of
historical analytical practices, the basis for his Thinking About
Harmony: Historical Perspectives on Analysis (Cambridge, 2008).
The project continues with focused studies on selected repertoires:
Harmony in Schubert (Cambridge, 2010), and the present volume.
Damschroder is the co-author of Music Theory from Zarlino to
Schenker (1990), and his articles and reviews have appeared in many
publications including Music Theory Spectrum, The Journal of Music
Theory, and Music Theory Online.
