A Comparative Study Of Schoenberg 's And Acoustics And Spoofson' S And Acoustics

“The Theory of Harmony”,which is written in1911by Arnold Schoenberg, is amasterpiece about traditional harmony theory.It contains not only the philosophical andpolemical aspects. This paper is focusing on the study of harmony theory and technic,trying toexplore the characteristics of Schoenberg’s harmony theory.Different form the previousstudies which is mostly concentrated in pure harmony theory,this paper aim to discuss theconnection with harmony technic and concept,as well as compare the differences betweenSchoenberg’s and Sposobin’s harmony theory.The article is divided into three parts, the first part is the "harmony theory ofSchoenberg" and Sposobin’s Harmony Textbook incoming Chinese history as well aselaborate make two harmony textbook; the second part is about the diatonic chords,non-diatonic chords, modulation techniques, non-harmonic tones, the content of their own andtheir comparison research; The third part is about the two harmony textbook summarizes theirdifferent characteristics.Through deeply studying and analysis, four conclusions are as follow: firstly, chordscan be freely connect if every voice has a good progress in Schoenberg’s harmony theory,hardly limited by “function concept”; secondly, The standard for the harmonic evaluation ofthese connections is merely the root progression; thirdly, Schoenberg’s harmony theory usenon-diatonic chords which is cited by the church modes. Besides, quoting the non-diatonicchords of the relationship to the minor sub-dominant via developing the sub-dominant, whichis greatly expanding a tone of harmony within the material;finally, different markers reflectdifferent chord significance. The main features of these harmonies show that Schoenberg’sharmony theory is a harmony system that is different from Sposobin’s Harmony theory.It isthe traditional harmony theory and the further development of teaching materials, withimportant learning, reference and application value.
