The Oxford Handbook of Neo-Riemannian Music Theories

In recent years neo-Riemannian theory has established itself as the leading approach of our time, and has proven particularly adept at explaining features of chromatic music. This book assembles an international group of leading music theory scholars in an exploration of the music-analytical, theoretical, and historical aspects of this new field.

Edward Gollin is Associate Professor of Music at Williams College. Alexander Rehding teaches music at Harvard University. His interests are in the history of music theory, and in nineteenth and twentieth century music. He is the author of Hugo Riemann and the Birth of Modern Musical Thought and Music and Monumentality, and is co-editor of Acta musicologica.
