It then explores the various types of chords and their functions in harmony, including triads, seventh chords, and extended chords. The later chapters of the book focus on more advanced topics, such as modulation, chromaticism, and counterpoint. Throughout the book, Chadwick provides numerous examples and exercises to help students apply the concepts they are learning.

Reseña del editor

The solutions here given are not to be regarded as the only possible harmonizations of the given basses and melodies. The student should be allowed some liberty in his choice of positionseven in his choice of the chords themselves -in proportion to his natural talent and innate musical taste. For this reason the lessons, which partake of the character of original work (LX,have not been fully worked out. It may be suggested that the lessons on the Figured Chorale belong to the domain of Counterpoint (in the modern sense). While this is certainly true, as far as the part-writing is concerned, such an art can never be mastered by the study of Counterpoint alone. The lessons on the Figured Chorale (especially with the melody in the inner voices) may be continued indefi -nitely with ever increasing profit to the student, and it is for this purpose that the 17 Chorales by Bach are given at the end of the book. In the exercises on Analysis the harmony has been defined as simply as possible, but in many cases it is capable of other constructions, perhaps equally logical and correct. G.W. CHADWICK.
