Reseña del editor

"Advanced Harmony: Theory and Practice" presents a systematic study of the principles of harmonic composition as developed by the composers of the 17th to the 19th centuries. The text applies an incremental learning approach to the academic aspect of music and applies newly acquired knowledge to the writing of music. Covers topics such as modulation, triads, chords, the 19th century, the 20th century, melody, rhythm, harmony, various composes, and more. For musicians just starting out, or for anyone interested in learning more about music theory.

Contraportada

From modulation to twentieth-century serial composition, this companion volume to "ELEMENTARY HARMONY, Fifth Edition" completes the study of eighteenth-century and nineteenth-century harmony. The text concludes first with a chapter on the music of Claude Debussy, serving as a transition to the final three chapters designed as an introduction to twentieth-century music.

Author Robert W. Ottman presents a wide variety of music examples from music literature and applies material learned to written and keyboard/harmony study programs. ADVANCED HARMONY, Fifth Edition also includes step-by-step suggestions for analysis of seemingly difficult harmonic problems and, in twentieth-century music, detailed instruction in the use and analysis of the twelve-tone method of music composition.
