Synopsis

Double Counterpoint and Canon is a comprehensive guide to the theory and practice of two important musical techniques: double counterpoint and canon. Written by Ebenezer Prout in 1893, the book is aimed at advanced students and professional musicians who want to deepen their understanding of these complex musical forms.The first section of the book focuses on double counterpoint, which involves writing music that can be inverted without changing the harmony. Prout explains the different types of double counterpoint, such as simple and compound, and provides numerous examples and exercises to help readers master the technique.The second section of the book covers canon, a form of composition in which a melody is imitated by one or more voices at a fixed interval. Prout explores the various types of canon, including canon by augmentation, diminution, and inversion, and provides detailed instructions on how to compose canons.Throughout the book, Prout emphasizes the importance of studying musical form and structure, and provides numerous examples from the works of Bach, Mozart, and other great composers. He also includes practical advice on how to approach composition and how to develop one's own musical style.Overall, Double Counterpoint and Canon is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the theory and practice of these important musical forms.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
