A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Harvard University and Radcliffe College; but as an elementary statement of the theory of tone relations, containing also a certain amount of new contribution to the subject, it may be of use to others.

As these books have in some cases, however, proved rather difficult reading for the beginner, I have attempted to explain certain elementary facts which they have taken more or less for granted especially the relation of the terminology used by Dr. Ross to other terminologies, that of Dr. Ross sclassification to other possible classifications, and the bearing of the different kinds of color mixture on these. There are some who still believe that it is unnecessary and even unwise for the painter, to say nothing of the general public, to know anything definite about the materials of the craft or the terms of the language which the painter employs. But if one compares the quality of the surface of even an average painting, dating from the XVIII century or before that time, with that of even the best paintings of the XIX or the XX century, it will be seen that Denman W.
