Description

Counterpoint helps music theory and music composition students to improve their musicianship by examining the voice leading that underlies Western tonal music. It proceeds by developing species counterpoint in the tradition of Johann Joseph Fux and his famous Gradus ad Parnassum (1725), but with attention to Heinrich Schenker's more in-depth study. For the sake of brevity, musical examples are available on the Scarecrow Press website, rather than within the book itself.

Author Biography:

Henry Martin, Professor of Music at Rutgers University in Newark, has pursued a dual career as a composer-pianist and as a music theorist specializing in jazz and the Western tonal tradition.
