Synopsis

Master tonal counterpoint with practical guidance and hands-on exercises This concise guide offers clear instruction on writing counterpoint that stays connected to harmony and voice leading. It explores rhythmic devices like syncopation, accented passing notes, and suspensions, with attention to how these ideas work in real music.

In this edition you’ll find practical methods, worked examples, and supplementary exercises that help you apply theory to your own writing. Topics span from basic two-part counterpoint to more advanced rhythmic embellishments, with musical examples drawn from standard repertoire to illustrate concepts.


  • Rule-based approaches to counterpoint that balance voice independence with harmonic clarity

  • rhythms and suspensions that create interest without breaking unity

  • Analysis of examples from classical masters to demonstrate practical application

  • Guided exercises and melodies to treat in different voices and keys



Ideal for students and teachers of music theory and composition who want a focused, usable framework for part-writing and rhythm in counterpoint.
