Books by Charles Burkhart

A collection of over 200 musical compositions and movements, ranging from the Middle Ages to the present. It offers first- and second-year music theory classes - many illustrations of chords, voice-leading techniques, and forms, as well as some material for figured-bass realization and score reading.

A critical study of Barbara Pym as comic writer and of the links between her life and autobiographical writings and her fiction, written with a liveliness of style and tone that matches Pym's own.

Displays the range and diversity of Schenkerian studies today in fifteen essays covering music from Bach through Debussy and Strauss.Explorations in Schenkerian Analysis is a collection of fifteen essays dedicated to the memory of Edward Laufer, an influential advocate of Schenker's method. The chapters are presented in chronological order by composer, opening with Charles Burkhart's contribution, which is presented as a letter to Edward Laufer (written before his death), and ending with excerpts from Stephen Slottow's 2003 interview with Laufer (in an appendix). Whilethe unifying focus is Schenkerian analysis, there is considerable variety in the approaches taken by the contributors. There is also variety in the composers represented, ranging from Bach to Debussy and Strauss. The volume thusdisplays the scope and diversity of Schenkerian studies today.
