Free Composition (Der freie Satz) is a treatise by Heinrich Schenker, and possibly Schenker's most well-known work. The third volume of New Musical Theories and Fantasies (preceded by Harmony and Counterpoint), it was first published posthumously in 1935.

Free Composition aims to present a complete and systematic outline of Schenker's mature theory, relying heavily on his previous writings. It is divided into three parts, dealing respectively with background, middleground, and foreground levels of structure.
