Harmony in Mendelssohn and Schumann

David Damschroder is Professor of Music Theory at the University of Minnesota. His research focuses on harmony in tonal music, a project that began with a careful examination of historical analytical practices, the basis for his Thinking about Harmony: Historical Perspectives on Analysis (Cambridge, 2008). He has since published studies on harmony in selected composers including Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, and Chopin, and he is the author of Tonal Analysis: A Schenkerian Perspective (2017).
