Exercises in Elementary Counterpoint

Description: Illustrated with musical examples. From the author's preface: ''The present volume is intended and expected to cover more ground than its title implies. In the author's mind it represents a course in Harmony, quite as much as in Counterpoint. It owes its inception to the author's often expressed conviction that these two course of study cannot be separated; and also to a constantly strengthening belief that the most rational, quickest and best way to acquire a thorough knowledge of the chords and their uses is to begin with one part, to pass from that to two, from that to three, and thus gradually arrive at full four-part harmony.'' Regarding this series of Theoretical Works of Percy Goetschius, the publisher states ''These volumes are written in a simple, lucid manner. The are permeated with the author's intense love and reverence for the art, so that the student feels the glow of a sympathetic stimulus throughout the course of study.'' This was originally published in 1910.
