These elements collectively imply a new tonality as \"natural\" and coherent as the major-minor tonality that was the basis of a common musical language in the past. His book describes the foundational assumptions of this post-diatonic tonality and illustrates its compositional functions with numerous musical examples.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe second edition of \u003ci\u003eTwelve-Tone Tonality\u003c\/i\u003e is enlarged by eleven new chapters, some of which are \"postscripts\" to earlier chapters-clarifying, elucidating, and expanding upon concepts discussed in the original edition. Others discuss new developments in the theory and practice of twelve-tone tonality, including voice-leading implications of the system and dissonance treatment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGeorge Perle\u003c\/b\u003e is a distinguished composer and Professor Emeritus of Music at the City University of New York.
