Harmonic Practice in Tonal Music

Taking a linear functional approach, Professor Gauldin uses clear explanations and outstanding musical examples to show students how individual chords function in the overall structure of a piece, explaining how both harmonic and melodic forces contribute to the development of musical ideas. For the Second Edition, Professor Gauldin has undertaken a comprehensive revision that responds directly to the suggestions of instructors. The new text emphasizes fundamental concepts, using a more effective organization and simpler, more accessible language to bring the most important ideas and information to the foreground. The music literature examples included in the text are now available on this single CD-ROM with performances by students and faculty from the Eastman School of Music.

Avand o abordare functionala liniara, profesorul Gauldin foloseste explicatii clare si exemple muzicale remarcabile pentru a le arata elevilor cum functioneaza acordurile individuale in structura generala a unei piese, explicand modul in care atat fortele armonice, cat si cele melodice contribuie la dezvoltarea ideilor muzicale. Pentru a doua editie, profesorul Gauldin a intreprins o revizuire cuprinzatoare care raspunde direct la sugestiile instructorilor.
