Schachter teaches at the Mannes College of Music and at The Juilliard School. The Juilliard School is recognized as one of the best performing arts conservatories in the world. ...
CarlSchachter was a pupil of the great Austrian music theorist Heinrich Schenker (the main influence on such musicians as Furtwängler, and the discoverer of the 'Urlinie', the real principle behind the harmonic plan in tonal music).
Schachter left the impression of being a highly effective demonstrator of his unmistakebly sharpened ideas, a very open mind for the unusual and a humourous person.
CarlSchachter is the author of some fabulous books investigating in Schenkerian analysis and its further developments, a man of decisive artistic ideals.
CarlSchachter is, by common consent, one of the three or four most important music theorists currently at work in North America.
Schachter is one of the heroes of musical analysis, and his collected writings explain Schenkerian analysis better than any of the existing textbooks in English on the subject.
Schachter's role in the dissemination and broadening of Schenker's teaching can hardly be overestimated....By and large, Schachter's articles, along with the writings of Oswald Jonas and Ernst Oster, represent the most significant scholarly, original contributions to Schenkerian music theory since Schenker's work itself.
