Summary:
Cook interprets the music theory of Heinrich Schenker as part of a project encompassing social and political critique. It sets his work into the contexts of Viennese modernism, German cultural conservatism, and Schenker's position as a Jewish immigrant to the city where modern anti-semitism first developed.
