Written during Tchaikovskys years as professor at the
renowned Moscow Conservatory, this volume presents a clear and
thorough introduction to the study of harmony. The great Russian
composer expounded upon his views of music while he was in the full
flower of his creative powers, offering students a chance to learn
the disciplines fundamentals from one of its great masters. Out of
print for decades and exceedingly rare in its original edition,
Tchaikovskys Guide to
the Practical Study of Harmony possesses an intrinsic
historical interest, yet remains as useful and instructive today as
it was a century ago. A complete course in writing music, this
excellent manual features numerous examples and exercises. It
functions equally well as a classroom text, an adjunct to private
instruction, or as a guide to individual musicians.
