Hearing Form: Musical Analysis With and Without the Score, Third Edition is a complete course package for undergraduate courses on musical forms, with comprehensive coverage from the Baroque to the Romantic. Placing emphasis on listening, it teaches students to analyze music both with and without the use of a score, covering phrase endings and cadences, harmonic sequence types, modulations, formal sections, and musical forms.

Hearing Form is supported by an integrated workbook section, its own full-score anthology, and a companion website containing an instructor’s manual, test bank, and audio streaming and downloads of recordings for the pieces in the anthology.

Key updates in the third edition include:

• Treatment of phrases and cadences now allows the book to be used by both instructors who teach that all phrases end with cadences and those who teach that some phrases do not
• New pieces added to the anthology widen the range of composers represented

With an engaging and practical approach informed by recent scholarship, Hearing Form enables students to recognize musical elements both by sight and by ear.
