From the title page: "Translated from the third German edition, and edited by Herrman S. Saroni. Fifth American edition, with appendix and notes by Emilius Girac" "Adolph Bernhard Marx German was musical writer; born at Halle May 15, 1799; died at Berlin May 17, 1866.With Kullak and Stern, Marx founded in 1850 the Berliner Musikschule, now the Stern Musik Conservatorium, one of the most prominent musical institutes of Berlin. Here he taught until 1856, when he resigned in order to devote himself entirely to literary and university work and to the teaching of composition. His long and intimate friendship with Mendelssohn was ultimately severed because of the latter's strictures upon Marx's compositions, which, indeed, have not withstood the test of time. His musical writings, however, are far more valuable, and include: "Ueber Malerei in der Tonkunst" (1828); "Die Lehre von der Musikalischen Komposition" (Berlin, 1837-1847, 4 vols. ; several times reprinted);"Allgemeine Musiklehre" (1839; 9th ed., 1875; translated into English); "Die Musik des 19ten Jahrhunderts und Ihre Pflege" (1855); "Ludwig van Beethoven's Leben und Schaffen" (1858; 3d ed., 1875); "Gluck und die Oper" (1863, 2 vols.); "Erinnerungen aus Meinem Leben" (1865, 2 vols.); and several other writings of an analytical nature."

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a thorough and exceptionally practical treatise on musical composition. It is the first in a series of three, each of which is divided into two parts: the first part covering composition for single voices or instruments (monophonic composition) and the second part composition for two or more voices or instruments (polyphonic composition). The author was a pioneering German theorist and composer of the 19th century who influenced the likes of Richard Wagner and Franz Liszt. The author intended this book to serve as a tool for teaching music composition theory and practice, and he succeeded at creating one of the most comprehensive treatments of the subject. There is no area of music fundamentals left unexplored in his work. But far from being dense or impenetrable, the author presents his work with ample examples to clarify even the most complex topics. It is an excellent choice for any serious student of music theory or composition. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
