Publisher's Synopsis
""A Companion to the Thorough-Base Primer"" is a book written by John Freckleton Burrowes and published in 1859. The book contains fifty preliminary exercises that are designed to help musicians learn the fundamentals of thorough-bass, which is a system of music notation that uses a bass line and chords to indicate the harmony of a piece of music. Each exercise in the book consists of a base and melody, and the exercises are arranged in a progressive order to help musicians build their skills gradually. The book is intended for use by music students, teachers, and professionals who are interested in learning or improving their understanding of thorough-bass. With clear instructions and helpful examples, ""A Companion to the Thorough-Base Primer"" is a valuable resource for anyone looking to deepen their knowledge of music theory and composition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
