We
have
to
be
careful with
Abraham’s
interpreta&on
here.
It
is
insufficient
to
describe
the
harmony
by
rela&ng
it

tonality
and
then
simply
saying
that
this
has
been
‘tweaked’.

other,
more
contemporary
analyses

this
music
which
use
pitch
class
set
(rather
than
tonal)
analysis
to
uncover
the
new
harmonic
treatments
Berg
is
beginning
to
use.
