Theory of Harmony, by Schoenberg

The book takes music theory as its subject, but explores perception, culture, the meaning of art, innovation, and other related ideas in its lengthy footnotes and tangents. It shows a world of practical considerations that go into art, which many would assume is primarily subjective.

Schoenberg is known as a composer for exploring atonality, and for having many students who became important composers.
