About this title

Synopsis

Convertible Counterpoint in the Strict Style by Serge Taneiev was used as text by many great Russian and western composers of classical music, from Rachmaninoff to Saminsky, to Piston, to Sabaneiev, to Clapp, and Stavinsky. This is the first paperpack edition of the English translation of the most distinguished teatise ever written on musical composition. G. Ackley Brower translated the manual from the original Russian, and Serge Koussevitzky wrote the Introduction.

About the Author

Serge Ivanovitch Taneiev (1856-1915), pupil, friend, and critic of Tchaikovsky, succeeded the latter as pro-fessor of instrumentation at the Moscow Conservatory, followed Nicholas Rubinstein as chief professor of pi-anoforte. On Tchaikovsky's recommendation, he was made Director of the Conservatory in 1885. His works in-clude four symphonies; one opera, Oresteia; one cantata, John of Damascus; and works for chamber-music. His greatest contribution was in the field of the theory of composition; among his students were Rachmaninoff, Gliere, Scriabin, Siloti, Spendiaroff, Vassilenko and Sabaneiev
