Schenker Documents Online

The twentieth century's leading theorist of tonal music, Heinrich Schenker produced a series of innovative studies and editions between 1903 and 1935 and left behind a voluminous archive of correspondence, diaries and lessonbooks. Edited in near-diplomatic transcription and with English translations, these materials form the core of the edition, supported by additional documents relating to his life, and a set of "profiles" of people, places and organizations with which he came into contact. Under the guidance of Ian Bent, Emeritus Professor of Music at Columbia University, New York and funded by the Leverhulme Trust (UK), the project brings together researchers at King's College London (Centre for Computing in the Humanities), the Universität für Musik und darstellende Kunst, Wien, and an international team of contributing scholars.
