Excerpt from The Theory and Practice of Tone-Relations: An Elementary Course of Harmony With Emphasis Upon the Element of Melody
Musical composition, in its creative aspect, can not be taught. It is a. Distinctly subjective expression of the individual; it comes from within, not from without; its individuality is what gives it value.
But there is a necessary medium, a technic of expression, and this technic can be taught, and must inevitably be acquired. He who would write English poetry must first learn the grammar, and other elements, Of English expres sion. NO matter how great the genius, or how overwhelming his thought and emotion, he can no more dispense with technic than he could dispense with a tongue in speech.
A textbook Of harmony, and Of the elementary technic Of musical expres sion, is, therefore, a necessary and important thing for him who desires to understand what great musical minds have recorded, and who purposes to ex press himself in the language Of tone.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book presents the fundamental principles of harmony, focusing on the relationship between tones and principles of key, with a particular focus on the major mode. The book begins by explaining the physical characteristics of musical sound and introduces concepts of tone intervals and their classification as consonant or dissonant. This categorization is then used to define the construction of chords and how their inherent dissonance or consonance determines their potential uses. The book then explores the concept of combining chords in progression, detailing the constraints and possibilities inherent in these relationships. The author takes a historical approach, explaining the development of the diatonic and natural scales and detailing which intervals and chords were developed first, which later. The book elucidates the reasons behind the decisions made by early musicians in establishing these principles and how the harmonic system developed over time. This book is an excellent resource for musicians of all experience levels, providing a solid foundation in musical theory and the principles of harmony.
