The Role of the Trichord as the Basic Structural Unit of the String Trio by Arnold Schoenberg

112 p.Thesis (D.M.A.)--University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 1999.The major finding of this study was that it is the trichord along with trichordal partitioning rather than the hexachord that forms the basis for the piece. The paper contains a detailed analysis of the work which demonstrates the dominance of the trichord and shows the instability of the hexachord in this composition. Also included in the paper are several tables offered in support of this thesis. Other finding such as the use of areas in the String Trio are also presented and discussed.U of I OnlyRestricted to the U of I community idenfinitely during batch ingest of legacy ETD
