Essays in Musical Analysis

Series of essays on classical music by Donald Tovey

Sir Donald Francis Tovey's Essays in Musical Analysis are a series of analytical essays on classical music. The essays came into existence as programme notes, written by Tovey, to accompany concerts given by the Reid Orchestra in Edinburgh. Between 1935 and 1939, they were published in six volumes as Essays in Musical Analysis. Each volume focused on a certain genre of orchestral or choral music, with many of the works discussed with the help of music examples. In 1944, a posthumous seventh volume appeared on chamber music. In 1989, a new version was published with some essays omitted and the remainder of Volumes I-VI consolidated into two volumes.
