Summary: NOT Schenker's Interpretive Practice
Comment: An extremely bad misrepresentation of Schenker and his work. In the first place the author uses only his own translations in the text, and very many of them are mistranslations of a more or less serious nature. For example, he mistranslates the verb "besteht [in]" (consists in) as "gets its start in"; this mistranslation has fateful consequences for his reading (misreading) of Schenker's interpretive practice. (There are literally scores of translation mistakes, some of them involving the most elementary German.) The author's attempts to portray Schenker's thought process in analyzing music are ludicrous, the work of a person who entirely lacks the requisite training for such an endeavor, and has no conception of who Schenker was and how he thought about music.
