About this title

Review:

"I am very impressed with this text in regards to the way it addresses such significant topics as passing tones, neighbor tones, elaborations of pitch, chord displacement and surface rhythm, suspension preparation and resolution, implied harmony, bass-line harmonic participation, suspensions and anticipations and much, much else."

"Part V: Dissonance and Chromaticism... provides an excellent introduction both to general principles and concepts and to specific materials and techniques. The Points for Review following each chapter are very helpful..."

"Part II is... thorough, and detailed and very musical with lots of excellent musical examples."
