2nd edition

"One more manual for the study of Harmony in the musical bibliographical space? It is true, a student nowadays has the possibility of a wide choice amongst numerous and excellent manuals which, however, focus on the theory of harmony. This book here, therefore, comes to bridge a gap, transferring the objective and the learning process from the theory to the practice. The book consists of exercises aiming at the student¢s understanding of the principles governing the combination of chords during the harmonious evolution, through simple voice movements. The exercises concern the comprehension of the two most significant chapters of harmony: the distinction of foreign phonemes in a melody, concurrent with the structuring of a melodic backbone, and learning the procedure of modulation. Contrary to other manuals, this book – written in an easily comprehensible manner – assists the student in acquainting himself by stages with the material of exams as well as the secrets of harmony."
