4 out of 5 stars Good   May 17, 2007
Not as good as Kennan's. Also the edition and style are really old. Doesn't have the same stature as Piston's Harmony.

Probably the most inspirational and thought-provoking counterpoint textbook. Walter Piston notes that all music is contrapuntal to some degree. He admonishes students not to make a 'fetish' of counterpoint, and discusses appositely (if tersely) the problem of twentieth-century counterpoint. I recommend this book to all musicians, but I would probably prefer to teach counterpoint with Kent Kennan's textbook.
