Tonality as Drama: Closure and Interruption in Four Twentieth-Century American Operas
Edward D. Latham

Latham draws on the fields of dramaturgy, music theory, and historical musicology to answer a fundamental question about twentieth-century music: why does tonality persist in opera, even after it has been abandoned in other genres? Combining the analytical approaches of the leading music and dramatic theorists of the twentieth century—Austrian music theorist Heinrich Schenker (1868-1935) and Russian director Constantin Stanislavsky (1863-1938)—Edward D. Latham reveals insights into works by Scott Joplin, George Gershwin, Kurt Weill, and Aaron Copland that are relevant to analysts, opera directors, and performers alike.  More details on Tonality as Drama: Closure and Interruption in Four Twentieth-Century American Operas
