Rimsky-Korsakov's Harmonic Theory
Larisa P. Jackson

Jackson examines the concept of modulation and of the relationship of keys and presents a model of his tonal space/map extrapolated from his harmonic system. She identifies specific treatises that help to trace ties between German theoretical ideas and Rimsky-Korsakov's work.
"This is a significant and interesting piece of research--it makes a noteworthy contribution to the history of music theory and to that of Russian music."--Richard Taruskin, author of The Oxford History of Western Music and On Russian Music

About the Author
Reviews
"Larisa Jackson has written a brilliant treatise explaining how Rimsky-Korsakov's Practical Manual of Harmony came into being, illuminating in turn his musical cosmology, and defining his influence on an entire generation of composers. As an educator, Rimsky-Korsakov made music theory accessible. Jackson makes it exciting."--Dr. Simon Morrison, Princeton University
"This comprehensive research of Rimsky-Korsakov's harmonic language contributes to the portrait of a well-known master of operatic magic and thrilling orchestral explorations, but also a lifelong learner, thinker, pedagogue, and writer. Discussing Rimsky-Korsakov's Practical Manual of Harmony in the context of German tradition and emerging Russian musical theory, Jackson brings out the composer's vision, which expands the traditional perspective in the same imaginative way as does his music."--Dr. Inna Naroditskaya, Northwestern University, author of Bewitching Russian Opera: The Tsarina from State to Stage
