The Craft of Tonal Counterpoint is an introductory text to the analysis and composition of tonal counterpoint. Using examples from the music of J.S. Bach - the master of this style - the author takes students through a series of carefully graded, cumulative exercises that stress both analysis and writing. Benjamin covers chromaticism and fugal writing in exceptional detail. The exercises cover a wide range of formats, including error detection, linear pitch reduction, analysis and composition. The book also incorporates a 100-page anthology of scores, effective for analysis, in-class performance, and compositional models.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 01 Line and Other Elements of Style; Chapter 02 Nonimitative Two-Voice Writing; Chapter 03 Chromaticism in Two Voices; Chapter 04 Composition of Binary Dance Forms; Chapter 05 Double (Invertible) Counterpoint; Chapter 06 Imitation; Canon; Chapter 07 The Two-Voice Invention; Chapter 08 Three-Voice Counterpoint I: Texture, Rhythm, Harmony; Chapter 09 Three-Voice Counterpoint II: Chromaticism, Triple Counterpoint, Canon; Chapter 10 Fugue I; Chapter 11 Fugue II; Chapter 12 Four-Voice Counterpoint; Chapter 13 Variation Forms; Chapter 14 Cantus Firmus Procedure: The Chorale Prelude; Chapter 15 Conclusion;","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51767529144663,"sku":"9780415943918","price":80.74,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780415943918.jpg?v=1758713654","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-craft-of-tonal-counterpoint-9780415943918","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
