from Part III - Composing with Rhythm
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 18 September 2020
It is not surprising that many discussions of the eighteenth- and nineteenth-century German Lied have centered on harmony and tonality; given its modest extent and relative textural simplicity, the Lied is eminently suitable for the exploration and explication of complex harmonic devices and unusual tonal techniques.

Many a classroom has been enlivened by discussions of a composer’s imaginative deployment of particular harmonic and tonal techniques to reflect or underline aspects of the given poetic text.
