2 In many 8-bar sentences, the liquidation or development consists of two one-bar segments, often sequential, and the last two bars solidify again into a single, sometimes recapitulatory, phrase. Schoenberg, Webern and the other pedagogically-inclined members of the Schoenberg circle preferred, however, to regard the process of development as continuing to the end of the sentence.

4 In Note 86 on p.44, Regina Busch's important essay ‘Über die horizontale und vertikale Darstellung misikalischer Gedanken und den musikalischen Raum’ is mentioned. It may be worth mentioning, for the benefit of English readers, that this was published in a translation by the present reviewer, together with an afterword, in Tempo 154, 156 and 151.
