Synopsis

Master the craft of counterpoint and fugue with clear, structured guidance. This edition distills Cherubini’s approach to four-part writing, modulation, and the building blocks of a fugue into practical lessons you can apply right away.

This book guides the student through the rules, examples, and techniques that shape formal counterpoint and fugue. From the basics of syncopation and the treatment of discords to the orchestration of subjects, answers, and episodes, it presents a method you can follow to craft cohesive, expressive lines.


  • Learn how to construct complete chords in syncopated bars and resolve discords effectively.

  • Explore the roles of subject, answer, countersubject, and stretto in four-part writing.

  • Study examples of strict fugues and more extended forms to see how ideas mature.

  • Understand how modulation and the timing of musical ideas shape a compelling fugue.



Ideal for students of traditional harmony and fugue, composers refining their craft, and readers seeking a disciplined approach to a classical topic.

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.
