Scope and content
Zuckerkandl presents music theory to non-professionals. He begins by working "one note at a time," introducing concepts such as the construction of scales, major and minor modality, scale degrees, and meter and rhythm. Zuckerkandl then builds on this foundation, discussing ornamental tones and introductory Roman numeral analysis. By the end of the book, readers should be able to read simple [Schenkerian] “skeletons.”
