Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky
Written during Tchaikovskyâ€™s years as professor at the renowned Moscow Conservatory, this volume presents a clear and thorough introduction to the study of harmony. The great Russian composer expounded upon his views of music while he was in the full flower of his creative powers, offering students a chance to learn the disciplineâ€™s fundamentals from one of its great masters. ,Out of print for decades and exceedingly rare in its original edition, Tchaikovskyâ€™s ,Guide to the Practical Study of Harmony, possesses an intrinsic historical interest, yet remains as useful and instructive today as it was a century ago. A complete course in writing music, this excellent manual features numerous examples and exercises. It functions equally well as a classroom text, an adjunct to private instruction, or as a guide to individual musicians.
