This book explores the web of pitch relations that generates the musical language of non-serialized twelve-tone music and supplies both the analytical materials and methods necessary for analyses of a vast proportion of the 20th century musical repertoire. Composers discussed include Ives, Stravinsky, Bartók, Messiaen, Cage, Debussy, and Copland.
