Inhaltsangabe

This book delves into the art of harmony, a fundamental element of music composition that has captivated musicians for centuries. Through a structured approach rooted in the principles established by J. Phil. Rameau, the author guides readers through a comprehensive course of exercises and study, equipping them with the knowledge and skills to master this essential aspect of music. The book meticulously examines the various types of chords and their specific functions within the diatonic scale, offering a detailed explanation of how these chords interact and resolve. The author then introduces the concept of "unessential notes," exploring how these notes contribute to melodic and harmonic complexity. This exploration is further enriched by a deep dive into harmonic modulation, a technique that allows composers to seamlessly shift between keys and create a sense of musical journey. Throughout the book, the author seamlessly blends theoretical principles with practical application, providing numerous examples and exercises to reinforce concepts and solidify understanding. This practical focus enables readers to translate theoretical knowledge into tangible musical expression. The bookâ s detailed analysis of harmony and its potential for manipulation offers valuable insights into the rich and expressive possibilities of musical composition.

Excerpt from Practical Harmony: A Systematic Course in Fifty-Four Lessons, With Numerous Explanatory Examples, Models, Exercises, and Quotations From the Master-Works Interspersed Throughout the Text; For Use in Colleges, Private Teaching, and for Self-Instruction

The modern disciple of Art has here presented not a book for more entertainment, but a work embodying a course of exercise and study which is necessary, in order to become possessed of a technical knowledge which will answer the demands of our art and our age. Unmindful of the transitory success of superficial routine, and aloof from that ostentatious musical clique-nuisance which everywhere makes itself conspicuous, the young musician must subject himself to a strict discipline, one that will enable him to become conscious of his position in the progressive development of art.

In the present edition, this work has suffered as little change essentially, as in its second. For the purpose of introducing Dispersed Harmony, several special exercises have been added, that are of a sufficiently advanced position to enable their being worked out with facility. In the subject of Modulation, the definiteness of the bounds of its three divisions, and clearness have been enhanced by a somewhat different distribution of the subject-matter. All other additions and emendations aim at simplification, and lucidity of statement. The succession of lessons and exercises has remained the same.
