Review: "Fundamentals of Musical Composition" may be an excellent book for advanced composers who can appreciate the nuances of the delicate balance between chaos and order (repetitions, variations on themes). But the word 'fundamentals', while possiby correct, is a bit misleading in this case. If anything, it is more like a "Philosophy of Musical Composition", enjoyable to those who have spent many hours composing and knowing enough to connect the dots. To those people, the book may well be worth four or five stars. However, I can only judge it as myself, and for a beginner, I cannot give more than two stars. I am fully aware that I may do Mr Schoenberg great injustice with this, but I can only hope that these two stars will at least warn some people that this book is not ideal if you want to start composing and learn the basics.
