...Christopher Segall Numerous late twentieth-century composers grappled with the problem of using triads in non-tonal ways. Alfred Schnittke’s atonal music of 1974–85 offers a solution by relying on three triad-to-triad relations: P (parallel), S (slide), and M (minor third). The first two...

..., there are many examples where the prolonged chord differs from the one being arpeggiated. Many of these involve a downward arpeggiation of a triad from fifth to root that connects two different harmonies. This article examines the prolongational issues involved in this type of arpeggiation. The first section...
