Master the craft of counterpoint with a classic method by Hugo Riemann.

This edition presents clear, step‑by‑step guidance on simple and double counterpoint, canons, and related techniques, helping students build solid technique from first principles to advanced practice. This book frames practical exercises around cantus firmus ideas, rhythmic analysis, and voice‑leading. It emphasizes rational, logical writing and shows how to develop independent parts while preserving musical cohesion. The material progresses from two‑part counterpoint to three and four parts, including rhythmically free and imitative forms, with extensive model examples and problem sets.

Foundations of simple and double counterpoint with note‑against‑note writing
Progression to three and four voices, including parallel thirds and sixths handling
Canon and imitation sections, plus guidance on rhythm, cantus firmus, and modulation
Appendices and cantus firmi for practical exercises to reinforce learning

Ideal for students of music theory, composition, and those seeking a thorough, instructor‑style path to mastering contrapuntal technique.

Ideal for readers of classical theory and students working through rigorous counterpoint training.

Excerpt from Text-Book of Simple and Double Counterpoint: Including Imitation or Canon; Translated From the German

The present treatise on counterpoint must not be regarded as a more developed exposition of the ideas contained in my book, "New School of Melody", a work, which unfortunately, I erroneously entitled, "A Sketch of Counterpoint by a New Method".

While that text-book - which treated particularly of the subjects, figuration and analysis, and therefore an advanced course in harmony - was in the press, the thoughts embodied in the present volume were being formulated and matured, as may be seen verified in the preface of my "Musikalische Dynamik und Agogik".

The warning, so justly given by Prof. Dr. Bernhard Scholz, not to let counterpoint degenerate into harmonic figuration, I believe I have sufficiently considered. Harmonic figuration, as now taught, is an independent course coming between harmony and counterpoint; counterpoint, as it must always be, is the theory of the free invention of melody.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the art of counterpoint, a fundamental element of musical composition, and provides a comprehensive guide for aspiring musicians. The author challenges traditional approaches to counterpoint, arguing that a thorough understanding of harmony is essential for truly creative and expressive writing. He emphasizes the importance of analyzing the "cantus firmus" â� � a given melodic line â� � to understand its harmonic and rhythmical structure, which in turn informs the composition of the counterpoint. The book delves into various forms of counterpoint, ranging from simple note-against-note writing to more complex forms involving syncopation and multiple notes against one. Throughout, the author uses clear examples and exercises to illustrate his points, providing readers with a practical framework for developing their contrapuntal skills. The bookâ� �s approach is grounded in the authorâ� �s own pedagogical method, which aims to equip students with the necessary tools for independent musical creation while still acknowledging the importance of established principles. This book offers a unique and insightful perspective on counterpoint, demonstrating how a deep understanding of harmony can liberate the composerâ� �s creativity and reveal the true potential of this fundamental musical technique. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N� de r�f. du vendeur 9781332036424_0
