Synopsis

This book unpacks the intricacies of harmony, the fundamental element of music that combines sounds to create pleasing and cohesive compositions. The author lays a strong foundation in the rudiments of music, addressing intervals, scales, and chords before guiding readers through the complexities of harmony. The text delves into the nuances of three major chords, the Tonic, Dominant, and Subdominant, exploring their progressions and relationships. Cadences, the melodic and harmonic punctuation marks of music, are examined in detail, shedding light on their role in shaping musical phrases. Throughout the book, the author provides clear examples and exercises to illustrate the concepts discussed, empowering readers to apply their newfound knowledge to their own musical endeavors. From simple harmonies to more advanced techniques, this book offers a comprehensive journey into the art of harmony, equipping readers with the tools and understanding they need to create their own musical masterpieces.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

A rr PREFACE. UT VAT the outset, it should be stated that a general knowledge of the rudiments of music is presupposed. For this reason the construction of scales, which is often given in books of harmony, is here omitted, as the author contends that that subject belongs to the rudiments, as does also the subject of intervals. A s, however, a theoretical knowledge of intervals does not enter into all systems of teaching the elements of music, and an exact knowledge of intervals is a prerequisite to the study of harmony, a preliminary chapter on them is included for those who may need it. Those who are not thoroughly familiar with intervals should write them out in different keys. All the early examples should also be -transposed to different keys till the student gains the power of readily recognising the chords and their progressions in all their varied appearances and disguises. Of the special features which are claimed for this work may be mentioned the following: Explicit directions by which consecutive fifths and consecutive octaves may be avoided are given at the outset and at every subsequent stage where there is any danger of encountering those obstacles, over which, for the lack of some guidance, so many have stumbled, and have needlessly been deterred from pursuing their course.

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.

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.
