Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Key to the Exercises in Part II of a Treatise on Harmony
To the purpose, the double purpose, of a Key, and to the use, the proper use, of the same, reference was made in the Preface to the Key to Part 1. Reference was also made to the fact that the great majority of the exercises may be harmonized satisfactorily in more ways than one; but, that the solution given is regarded by the author as being the most desirable one in the interests of the student.
In addition to the above, two other points arise in connection with the exercises in Part II, to which a brief reference must be made. In the first place, it has been thought well to symbolize only the chord or chords under consideration in each chapter; for, the student should be thoroughly familiar with the various chords which have been previously considered. In the second place, in regard to the figuring of auxiliary notes, and in accordance with a very general law, the accented ornamentations alone are represented in the figures.
