August 18, 200916 yr Hi everyone, :) I'm currently reading "The study of Orchestration" and have come to a part where an excerpt from a work of Tchaikovsky is broken down and analyzed. I found this to be immensely helpful and was wondering if there are any books out there specifically geared towards the analysis of pieces because frankly I just don't know what I should be looking for when I view a score. Thanks! Jackson

Melodically: Look for similar patterns and where they end up in the music Harmonically: Look for similar patterns and where they end up in the music Other: Look for similar patterns and where they end up in the music. All: Why? For personal study, you don't even need to know what the masters say about the music, just what interests you.
