His posthumous text, \u003ci\u003eA Theory of Harmony\u003c\/i\u003e, summarizes his innovative ideas. \u003ci\u003eA Theory of Harmony\u003c\/i\u003e is a highly original explanation of the harmonic language of the modern era, illuminating the approaches of diverse styles of music. By breaking through age-old conceptions, Levy was able to reorient the way we experience musical harmony.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBritish composer\/music pedagogue Paul Wilkinson has written a new introduction that offers multiple points of entry to Levy's work to make this text more accessible for a new generation of students, performers, and theorists. He relates Levy's work to innovations in improvisation, jazz, twentieth-century classical music, and the theoretical writings of a wide range of musical mavericks, including Harry Partch, Hugo Riemann, and David Lewin. Wilkinson shows how \u003ci\u003eA Theory of Harmony\u003c\/i\u003e continues to inspire original musical expression across multiple musical genres.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57335370514806,"sku":"9781438496337","price":21.43,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_28642013.jpg?v=1771576084","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781438496337-a-theory-of-harmony","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
