Review of David Damschroder, Tonal Analysis: A Schenkerian Perspective (W.W. Norton, 2017)

[...]the voice-leading lines identified in step 1 should be notated and evaluated for their advantages and problems, since rival hypotheses may arise in more difficult excerpts. [...]the exact mechanism for the I5–6 label is unclear in the book; it would be helpful to declare outright that descending-third root motions function as 5–6 shifts. [...]I also suggest a guided transition in Example 3 between the pattern recognition in steps 3–4 and the introduction of graphic notation in step 5. [...]the student is deprived of opportunities to gain confidence and construct their own knowledge.
