Graph,
Urlinie-Tafel. The detailed foreground
graph of an entire movement or composition. At this stage in his work
the Urlinie-Tafel contained all the essential structural elements
of a composition, usually notated in a rhythmic reduction. While "Graphic
music analysis" (Felix Salzer's translation in Schenker's Five
Graphic Music Analyses, New York: Dover, 1969: 25) is suitable,
"comprehensive foreground graph" (Ibid.,
Salzer's Introduction, p. 25) is accurate, and fundamental-line
chart (Allan Forte and Steven Gilbert, Introduction to Schenkerian
Analysis, New York: Norton, 1982: 133) is literal, "graph" has
been adopted for convenience here.
Reproductions of all the foreground graphs are available for comparision
in the "graphic mode". |
