Reviews

Auerbach's book is at once engaging and rigorous. We have long needed such a comprehensive approach to a concept that has occupied, even bedeviled, music theorists for centuries. * Walter Frisch, Columbia University * At every turn the author seems eager to engage a broad audience of interested readers beyond the community of professional music theorists. Following a detailed survey of historical perspectives on musical motive, Auerbach offers an original system of terminology and brings his methodology to bear on a wide range of repertoire. Specialists and non-specialists will appreciate his accessible style and his engagement with musical favorites from the Baroque era through Radiohead. * Evan Jones, Florida State University *
