A New System of Harmony (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

A practical new approach to harmony that clarifies how chords move
This book presents a clear, actionable system of harmony built on four fundamental chords. It aims to make chord progressions logical and usable for teaching and composing, rather than relying on traditional rules alone.

This edition explains the law of lesser effort guiding chord tendencies, shows how seventh-chords relate to triads, and explains how modulation works through many possible paths. You’ll see how chords are grouped by their movement, not just their form, and learn practical ways to apply the ideas to real music.

• A four-chord foundation with five-note chords and how they derive from the scale


• Clear descriptions of dual movement rules for mixed chords and their progressions


• Guidance on connecting seventh-chords to triads with practical resolutions


• Extensive examples of modulation and the many ways to change keys
