Analyses of Schubert Waltz in A Major, D 779n13: PDF essay link, abstract, keywords

Title: Analyses of Schubert Waltz in A Major, D 779n13

Link: Analyses of Waltz in A Major

Abstract: This article gathers a large number of analyses of a single waltz by Franz Schubert: the anomalous A-major waltz, no. 13 in the Valses sentimentales, D 779. The goal is to make more vivid through examples a critical position that came to the fore in music theory during the course of the 1980s: a contrast between a widely accepted “diversity” standard and the closed, ideologically bound habits of descriptive and interpretative practice associated with classical pc-set analysis and Schenkerian analysis.
