Publisher's Synopsis
""Elementary Principles of Harmony: For School and Self-Instruction"" is a music theory book written by Salomon Jadassohn and first published in 1895. The book is designed for both classroom instruction and individual study, and covers the fundamental principles of harmony in Western classical music. The book is divided into three main sections: Part I covers the basics of harmony, including intervals, chords, and chord progressions. Part II focuses on the principles of counterpoint, including voice leading and the rules of harmony in multiple voices. Part III covers more advanced topics, including modulation, chromatic harmony, and the use of dissonance. Throughout the book, Jadassohn uses examples from classical music to illustrate his points, and includes exercises and quizzes at the end of each chapter to help students reinforce their understanding of the material. The book is written in clear, concise language, making it accessible to both beginners and more advanced students of music theory. Overall, ""Elementary Principles of Harmony"" is a comprehensive guide to the principles of harmony in Western classical music, and remains a valuable resource for students and teachers of music theory today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
