by Arnold Schoenberg
This book isn't really a manual for learning how to compose. It's about how musical form works, from small units to large forms like sonata-allegro. Schoenberg is very thorough and methodical, arranging the material into a completely logical progression. Although his style and approach may be a little old-fashioned, he is extremely good at writing educational texts. Even though this book covers things I already know, I found it to be an excellent and engaging explanation of form.
