Praise for this book

"Basic Post-Tonal Theory and Analysis is a valuable contribution to the teaching and learning of post-tonal theory. The writing is clear and easy to follow, which is something the students will appreciate."
--Philip Stoecker, Hofstra University

"This book has the potential to play an important role in the study of post-tonal music theory. It focuses on concepts that are often at the core of a twentieth-century-music class. The exercises, in particular, would be very useful to have in the classroom."
--Daphne Tan, Indiana University Bloomington

"Undergraduates are often put off by non-tonal music because of their failure to see any continuity or similarities with the music from the common-practice era. Lambert does a great job in bridging that gap."
--Inessa Bazayev, Louisiana State University
