Excerpt from Lessons in HarmonyFor several years the need of revision has been felt and much thought has been devoted to the project. Im provement in diction, in illustrative musical examples, and in the character of exercises to be solved, has been sought in every lesson. In some cases this has led to the entire revision of pages and lessons, but always with mainte nance of the original policy of a lesson plan and the brief est text consistent with clarity.Old friends of the book will find most of their favorite exercises placed in the successive lessons under the head ing Additional Exercises. These are available precisely as in the old, edition, if desired, or for class work at the blackboard. Many new melodies in period and in song form have been written especially for the revised edition.It will be observed that mechanically the book now becomes a unit - the division into Parts'i has been dis carded, the paging becomes continuous, and a detailed In dex is provided.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
