Présentation de l'éditeur

There are certain terms and definitions which should be learned and understood thoroughly before proceeding further into the subject of Harmony. The student may already be familiar with some or all of the following, but even in this case it is well to recapitulate. To begin with, Sound is the result of sound-wave or vibrations of the air.
