Excerpt from Elementary Harmony, Vol. 3
In the Polyphonic Period the contrapuntal aspect of music is chie?y revealed, for the simple reason that combined sound itself was the result of combined melodies. In later periods we have both the harmonic and the contrapuntal styles, and the second is always the later manifestation. For, obviously, a writer cannot give attention to the individuality of his various parts till he is thoroughly conversant with the harmonic basis underlying their combination.
This book has dealt with the purely harmonic side of the period. The student''s next step is to study the contra» puntal phase.
It may further be urged that the best-equipped person for attempting modern technique is he who understands the whole process of development.
