The Masterwork in Music comprises the main writings from the mid-1920s to 1930 of the eminent Austrian theorist and music-philosopher, Heinrich Schenker (1868–1935); these range from detailed analyses of individual works to discussions of music theory in a historical/cultural context to general thoughts about music, art and culture. The third and final volume of Masterwork embraces all three types of essay, but is in reality dominated by the most detailed and, for many, the most celebrated of all of Schenker's studies of single works: the analysis of Beethoven's Eroica Symphony. All four movements are discussed and graphed in detail; the surrounding commentary on the history of theory, and of contemporary culture, is related in a general way to the central analytical study.
