Structural Hearing: Tonal Coherence in MusicWritten by a pupil of the late Heinrich Schenker, this outstanding work is the most thorough exposition in English of Schenker's work. Developing and extending the Schenker approach to include modern music, it explores the phenomenon of tonal organization in Western music by means of a detailed analysis and discussion of more than 500 musical examples ranging in time from the Middle Ages to such moderns as Bartok, Hindemith, Prokofiev, and Stravinsky.
Written by a pupil of the late Heinrich Schenker, this outstanding work is the most thorough exposition in English of Schenker's work. Developing and extending the Schenker approach to include modern music, it explores the phenomenon of tonal organization in Western music by means of a detailed analysis and discussion of more than 500 musical examples ranging in time from the Middle Ages to such moderns as Bartok, Hindemith, Prokofiev, and Stravinsky.Heinrich Schenker's great contribution was the discovery of fundamental principles of tonal organization, continuity, and coherence. In theory he was the first to define these organic forces of the musical language, particularly the tonal functions and relationships which form both the generative and cohesive forces of great music.Dr. Salzer, in expanding and formulating anew many of Schenker's ideas, has embarked upon a systematic approach. Using the concept of chord functions as a basis, he differentiates sharply between chord grammar (or labeling) and significance, showing that function rather than the ordinary label is really significant. Further distinctions between chords of structure and chords of prolongation, harmonic and contrapuntal uses, and the concept of musical direction provide effective tools for the analysis of music.
This set, which is a standard work used in all important music schools, starts with basic definitions and simple examples, and trains the reader not only to hear successions of tones, melodic lines, and progressions of chords, but also to understand their structural coherence and significance. It is invaluable for musicians and for all who are seriously interested in music, whether as a student, critic, performer, or conductor."Since its publication in 1952 . . . has been the foundation on which all teaching in music theory has been based at this College." -- Leopold Mannes, President, The Mannes College of Music. "Never likely to be improved upon for soundness and comprehensiveness." -- Ernest Newman, The Times. "A thoughtful and provocative contribution to the fields of music theory, aesthetics, and criticism, and performance. Dr. Salzer is to be congratulated on having helped us take a long step out of the Dark Ages." -- Norman Lloyd, Juilliard School of Music, in Notes.

Save Sanity (and Sinks)
Style: 20 Ounces, Size: 56 Count
These 20-ounce bowls have been a lifesaver for a big family with no time—or sanity—to spare for a sink full of dishes.
Don’t fill one with water and leave it overnight unless you’re running a paper-mâché experiment. For hot soup, I’d recommend using two bowls, but for cereal, pasta, snacks, or fruit, they’re perfect.
I even found one that had been left outside in the rain for a few days and it still hadn’t disintegrated—so sturdiness gets bonus points.
Also, three scoops of ice cream plus toppings? Tested and verified.
If you value your peace of mind more than your dish pile, these are the bowls you’re looking for.

These are great
Style: 20 Ounces, Size: 56 Count
These hold my hot and cold foods with no problem. I have not had an issue with leaking and it’s been safe to use in the microwave. I’ve even had liquidy foods in it. Like juices from the food. I have also eaten soups with no issues. Great price and durable.

Great product
I love it it’s not greasy and it actually helped repair my nails from when I would get them done too much and there’s not much of a smell
