Excerpt from Harmonic Analysis: A Course in the Analysis of the Chords and of the Non-Harmonic Tones to Be Found in Music, Classic and Modern

As will be noted, examples have been drawn from the most varied sources. The page-limits of a work of this sort forbade, however, the use of many quotations which might have been used and which suggest themselves, no doubt, to the connoisseur. But it is thought that this presentation will be found ample enough for practical purposes, - provided the student applies what he has acquired here.

Excerpt from Harmonic Analysis: A Course in the Analysis of the Chords and of the Non-Harmonic Tones to Be Found in Music, Classic and Modern

This book is designed, primarily, for those who have studied Harmony and would apply it in their every-day musical life, - in other words, in their playing and in their teaching. It is planned - although no premium is hereby placed on superficiality - as much for those people who have made poor work of their harmony, so far as turning out a good-sounding product is concerned, as for those to whom the difficulties were as naught. Furthermore, it is planned for him who, living in some place inaccessible to the best performances, would fain review what he has learned, - if possible, in a manner other than that of laboriously writing exercises, - would broaden his musical horizon and thus increase the gift Heaven has given him, and appease, in a measure, that hunger for chords and for things harmonic which characterizes so strongly this present day.

By not a few observers it has often been thought that the ordinary course in harmony ceased before its rightful end, and that there was no connection, or not enough connection, made between harmony and playing; i, e., between harmony and practical musicianship. Harmonic Analysis, it has been held, would give the ordinary non-composing student an opportunity to make his harmony a live thing; and experience has justified this idea.

The Course of Instruction in the New England Conservatory of Music, Boston, Massachusetts, from which this book has grown, was planned for forty class lessons.
