In examining the musical thinking of composers Schoenberg (1874-1951) and Hindemith (1895-1963), Breivik (musicology, Norwegian U. of Science and Technology) builds on the awareness of basic connections between music and architecture. The connections are on the epistemological level, he says, focusing on questions about artistic material, form, and function. His discussions include Hindemuth's interval as musical material, Schoenberg from gedanke to form, active listening in Schoenberg, and active performance in Hindemuth. Only names are indexed.
