Instead, he put his taste for writing at the service of music, presenting his works or engaging in polemics. Above all, as Schoenberg's most devoted pupil, he often celebrated, defended and supported his master, notably analyzing some of his scores, without skimping on the number of musical examples. At times excessive, his loyalty to the master's thought may have conflicted with his own affinities and convictions, as some passages make clear.

It begins by discussing ways of describing melody from various perspectives, as well as the dissimilarities between theme and melody, and between the latter and simple polyphonic voices, before exploring and classifying, with over a hundred examples, the melodic types created and used by composers such as Britten, Eisler, Feldman, Gouba\u00efdoulina, Henze, Ligeti, Messiaen, Poulenc, Ravel, Rihm, Schnittke, Stravinsky, Var\u00e8se and Vivier, to name but a few.
