Excerpt from Lessons in Harmony
For several years the need of revision has been felt and much thought has been devoted to the project. Im provement in diction, in illustrative musical examples, and in the character of exercises to be solved, has been sought in every lesson. In some cases this has led to the entire revision of pages and lessons; but always with mainte nance of the original policy of a lesson plan and the brief est text consistent with clarity.
Old friends of the book will find most of their favorite exercises placed in the successive lessons under the head ing Additional Exercises. These are available precisely as in the old, edition, if desired, or for class work at the blackboard. Many new melodies in period and in song form have been written especially for the revised edition.
It will be observed that mechanically the book now becomes a unit - the division into Parts'i has been dis carded, the paging becomes continuous, and a detailed In dex is provided.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book teaches harmony and is a suitable text for the study of this subject, with illustrative examples and a definite assignment of lessons. It aims to furnish a theoretical framework along with practical exercises designed to enable music students to continue developing their work by researching the works of the masters. Emphasis is laid on the value of being able to play, in any key, a large number of cadence formulae. The author begins by providing basic definitions and scales, then delves into triads in major and minor keys, as well as both major and minor keys. The book covers inversions of triads, chords of the sixth, six-four chords, the chords of the dominant seventh, secondary triads, the sequence, and the supertonic seventh chord. Through the detailed study of these elements, the book imparts not only theoretical knowledge but also the skills to apply this knowledge to practical musical composition.
