Présentation de l'éditeur
Tnis little work is only intended for beginners. It is a collection of hints both to masters and pupils as to the course which should be pursued in the first steps towards the art of Composition. A ny child or young person who has thoroughly mastered the authors Harmony Primer will be quite capable of commencing this book immediately. In extenuation of the many shortcomings which will no doubt be discovered in it by competent critics, the author wishes to plead that he has attempted to work out his scheme without following or imitating any previous writer. He has purposely omitted any concise or definite rules on modulation, because he conceives that it is better that it should be learned in the process of harmonising melodies than by short-cuts committed to memory. Pupils who have been made familiar with such short-cuts usually jump into a new key by their means, and fail to master that gentle and interesting leaning towards the new tonality which is so characteristic a portion of the best type of modulation. Experienced, masters will, it is hoped, substitute other exercises, or add to those already given, whenever they may consider such changes beneficial to their pupils. The examples have been taken from works within easy reach of all, in order that pupilg may be able to examine the context.
