===Compositional analysis===
Jacques Chailley views analysis entirely from a compositional viewpoint, arguing that, "since analysis consists of 'putting oneself in the composer's shoes,' and explaining what he was experiencing as he was writing, it is obvious that we should not think of studying a work in terms of criteria foreign to the author's own preoccupations, no more in tonal analysis than in [[harmonic analysis (music)|harmonic analysis]]."{{sfn|Chailley|1951|loc=104}}
