Excerpt from Combined Counterpoint in Three Parts, And, Florid and Imitational Counterpoint in Three and Four Parts: With Examples

IN the various existing treatises on Counterpoint the greater part of the work is necessarily given up to the exposition of Simple Counterpoint. As Combined and Florid Counterpoint form now such an important feature of examination work, it is thought that there may be room for a book dealing only with those particular branches Of the subject, and which might be used as supplementary to other works.

NO new theory is advanced in these pages, which follow mainly the same lines as the modern works on Counterpoint in general use at the present time.

The writer has, both in the text and in the examples, endeavoured to follow the excellent recommendations issued by the Council of the Union Of Graduates; the only difficulty being that in the case Of some Canti Fermi in the minor key, it is practically impossible to Observe strictly the rule that no modulation shall be made before the primary key has been established.

NO attempt is made to deal with Modal Counterpoint, as found in the works Of the composers Of the Polyphonic period, that subject being, in the writer's Opinion, better deferred until the student has completed a course Of Counterpoint founded on our present tonal system.
