Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Harmonic Structure and Elementary Composition: An Outline of a Course in Practical Musical Invention
It is becoming more and more of an accepted fact that far from being opposed and mutually exclu sive, as some still hold, the composition, performance and appreciation of music are, in reality, inter dependent and correlative activities constituting the three most important functions of a larger unit namely, the living art of music. An isolation similar to that experienced by the art as a whole, from any obvious connection with the ebb and ?ow of social and intellectual life of recent years, may be noted in the relations of the three activities mentioned not only to one another, but to the whole art; and it is the belief of the authors of the present volume that much may be gained through a more pre cise understanding of any one of them in terms of any other.
