This course, Voice-leading analysis of music 2: the middle ground, continues our examination of 'voice-leading' or 'Schenkerian' analysis, perhaps the most widely used and discussed the method of analyzing tonal music. In this course, this method is explained through the analysis of piano sonatas by Mozart. The course is the second in the AA314 series of three courses on this form of harmonic analysis and concentrates on the 'middle ground level' of voice leading. As you work through this course, you will become familiar with the deeper levels of harmony in Mozart's piano sonatas.
