Diether de la Motte’s Stylistic Method of Teaching Harmony. On the Example of Wagner

Summary/Abstract: Diether de la Motte’s “Harmonielehre”, 1976 (“The Study of Harmony: An Historical Perspective”, 1991), differs significantly from traditional harmony textbooks by applying the author’s stylistic method. This becomes evident already in the textbook’s table of contents, which is structured in an unusual way – it shows the material chronologically by epochs and composers, as opposed to listing it systematically by harmonic structures. Through the consistent application of his stylistic method, Diether de la Motte made a significant contribution to the historicization of music theory. The present article examines De la Motte’s approach to Wagner’s harmony, particularly the “functionally free four-tone sonorities” (Funktionsfreie Vierklänge mit Leittonverbindung) to be found in “Tristan und Isolde” and “Parsifal”.
