Part I is an introduction to Schenkerian analysis; outlining the concepts that are involved in analysisPart II outlines a unique and detailed working method to help students to get started on the process of analysisPart III puts some of these ideas into practice by exploring the basics of a Schenkerian approach to form; register; motives and dramatic structurePart IV provides a series of exercises from the simple to the more sophisticated; along with hints and tips for their completion.

Shapes both sleek and otherwiseBy ChrijeffCarol Belanger Grafton; who has edited many collections of ldquo;cutsrdquo; for Dover; here assembles over 600 images of womens wear from the decade (1918-28) immediately preceding the Great Depression; all from the venerable French magazine La Vie Parisienne (founded 1863). As the Publishers Note points out; although ldquo;we tend to let the boyish image of the flapper dominaterdquo; our concept of 20s dress; she really ldquo;marks only the last few years of the decade;rdquo; and throughout most of it fashions were ldquo;feminine and sensuous;rdquo; their new simplicity of cut compensated for with bold patterns and abundant ornamentmdash;fringes; beading; fur trim. Hems varied from ankle to kneemdash;sometimes the full range in a single year; hats were often of an astonishing variety of forms; and trims; trains; and accessories frequently created unusual silhouettes; both above and below the waist. From slim pencil dresses and ldquo;daringrdquo; bathing suits to parachute skirts and even a resurrection of the bustle; the outfits shown in these unsigned sketches; which are usefully arranged by year; are certain to be of interest to anyone who wants to know something of the less famous styles of this ldquo;roaringrdquo; decade.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. SMALL PICTURESBy KellyI bought this book of illustrations in order to use them in art and collage projects. The pictures themselves are not bad for my purposes; yet they are really small. I will have to enlarge the pics for them to be of much use!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Great Fashion!By AzeriThis is full of great fashion! Im using it for art designs; and it has a lot of simple designs I can translate or alter. Very few of theses designs are boring or weird looking. I think this might be my favorite fashion period/location.
