Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Material Used in Musical Composition: A System of Harmony Designed and Adopted for Use in the English Harmony Classes of the Conservatory of Music at Stuttgart
The references to other paragraphs (which may appear at first glance unnecessarily profuse) have been made with the studied purpose of impressing certain points more deeply upon the scholar's mind, by dint of frequent repetition. Therefore the scholar is required to make conscientious use of them, despite the slight interruptions they may cause. In the other references (to other works) the Author has limited himself as much as possible to such Compositions as are accessible to every scholar, and, with very rare exceptions (in favor of some particularly striking examples), to Piano-forte music alone. The printedexamples, of which those not otherwise marked are original, are the more pointed illustrations of the matter in question, and are so copious that the references, if unobtainable, may be dispensed with.
