Excerpt from Goodrich's Analytical Harmony: A Theory of Musical Composition From the Composer's Standpoint By closing the books a class may write on a blackboard the Various exercises without fear of unduly referring to the solutions in the text. Those who pursue the study without a tutor will understand that if they consult these solutions before the examples have been worked out they will acquire only a superficial knowl edge of the subject. Throughout the text ellipsis appear whenever an example is to be worked out before proceeding farther. The first twenty chapters are confined to concords, that the student may more readily learn to manage chords without being burdened with the additional rules of resolution which apply to discords. No discord is introduced until it is required, and in this way one subject leads to another. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
