Publisher's Synopsis
New Lessons in Harmony is a comprehensive guide to the study of harmony, written by John Comfort Fillmore and originally published in 1887. The book is designed to provide a thorough understanding of the principles of harmony, including the structure of chords, chord progressions, and the use of harmony in composition. The text is divided into three main sections: the first covers the basic principles of harmony, including the nature of sound, the principles of melody, and the structure of chords. The second section delves into more advanced topics, such as chord inversions, modulation, and the use of chromatic harmony. Finally, the third section focuses on the practical application of harmony in composition, including the use of harmony in various musical forms and styles. Throughout the book, Fillmore emphasizes the importance of developing a strong ear for harmony and provides numerous examples and exercises to help readers improve their skills. The book also includes a comprehensive glossary of musical terms and a detailed index, making it an invaluable resource for students and teachers 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.
