Author: Riddick, Frank C. Title: An Analytical Study of Zemlinsky's Second String Quartet Institution: University of Colorado, Boulder Begun: September 1991 Completed: May 1994 Abstract: Typical of the works of the transitional repertoire, Zemlinsky's Second String Quartet is highly resistant to established modes of analysis. This study demonstrates the shortcomings of these theories (functional tonal symbols, Schenker, etc.) and presents an alternative that explicates the composer's techniques of motivic development.
