In Chapter 3, "Harmonic Analysis of Glassworks, First Movement 'Opening,"' I begin
with an introduction to "minimal" tonality and fundamental structure in Glass' "Opening." I
define my terms "harmonic loop," and "harmonic look breaker." In my five-level
Schenkerian-oriented analysis, I investigate the operations of "harmonic loops," "harmonic loop
breakers," and the characteristics of the fundamental structure in "Opening."2
