Publisher's Synopsis
""A Practical Course in Ear Training: Or A Guide for Acquiring Relative and Absolute Pitch"" is a comprehensive guide to ear training written by Salomon Jadassohn and originally published in 1899. The book is designed to help musicians of all levels improve their ability to recognize and reproduce musical sounds, with a focus on developing both relative and absolute pitch. The guide is divided into three main sections: the first covers the basics of ear training, including the importance of pitch recognition and the different types of intervals and chords. The second section focuses on developing relative pitch, with exercises designed to help readers identify intervals and chords by ear. The final section is dedicated to absolute pitch, and includes exercises for identifying specific pitches and building a strong sense of tonality.Throughout the book, Jadassohn provides detailed explanations of musical concepts and a wide range of exercises to help readers practice and improve their skills. The guide is suitable for both individual study and classroom use, and includes numerous examples from classical music repertoire. Overall, ""A Practical Course in Ear Training"" is an essential resource for any musician looking to improve their ear training skills and deepen their understanding of music theory.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
