Are there any books on score analysis?

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!

It's not that hard to analyze music.

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.

Yes.

They're called theory texts. :thumbsup:
