Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Key to Chadwick's Harmony
The solutions here given are not to be regarded as the only possible harmonizations of the given basses and melodies. The student should be allowed some liberty in his choice of positions even in his choice of the chords themselves in proportion to his natural talent and'innate musical taste. For this reason the les sons, which partake of the character of original work (lxv), have not been fully worked out.
It may be' suggested that the lessons on the Figured Chorale belong to the domain of Counterpoint (in the modern sense). While this is certainly true, as far as the part-writing is con cerned, such an art can never be mastered by the study of Coun terpoint alone. The lessons on the Figured Chorale (especially with the melody in the. Inner voices) may be continued indefi nitely with ever increasing profit to the student, and it is for' this purpose that the 17 Chorales by Bach are given at the end of the book.
