Synopsis

A companion volume to Ottman's "Elementary Harmony" (fourth edition), this volume studies 18th- and 19th-century harmony - and introduces the reader to 20th-century composition. Together the two volumes include materials ranging from music fundamentals through 20th-century music, covering the needs of the usual two-year college music theory programme in the subject areas of harmony, analysis, and the application of these to keyboard harmony.

About this title

From the Back Cover

From modulation to twentieth-century serial composition, this companion volume to ELEMENTARY HARMONY, Fifth Edition completes the study of eighteenth-century and nineteenth-century harmony. The text concludes first with a chapter on the music of Claude Debussy, serving as a transition to the final three chapters designed as an introduction to twentieth-century music.

Author Robert W. Ottman presents a wide variety of music examples from music literature and applies material learned to written and keyboard/harmony study programs. ADVANCED HARMONY, Fifth Edition also includes step-by-step suggestions for analysis of seemingly difficult harmonic problems and, in twentieth-century music, detailed instruction in the use and analysis of the twelve-tone method of music composition.

• NEW-Extensive rewriting and reorganization of text materials designed to improve their clarity and to simplify their application to analysis and to writing projects.
