Description
Book Synopsis
-- Stanley Persky, City University of New YorkFrom the Back Cover
'Counterpoint in Composition' began life not as a book, but as a collection of examples from the literature. Dr. Salzer and Dr. Schachter assembled it to show the connections between the simple procedures of species counterpoint and the complexities of composition, an approach to counterpoint deriving from the work of Heinrich Schenker.Review Quotes
This book may become the most important music theory book for the next few generations of theorists, composers and performers.
