Product Description
Practical work in writing counterpoint! This volume emphasizes developing analytical and writing skills in the contrapuntal technique of the eighteenth century. The orientation is strongly stylistic, dealing mainly with the polyphony of the late Baroque period. Three aspects are stressed throughout: practical work in writing counterpoint, utilizing various textures, devices, and genre of the period; historical background, to establish the origins of different forms and justify the pedagogical method employed here; analysis of selections from music literature, often in voice-leading reductions. After an opening chapter that reviews some general features of the late Baroque period, there is a brief survey of melodic characteristics, and a study of procedures associated with two, three, and four voices.

Great for Self-study March 28, 2000
Gauldin has prepared a book which leads you carefully and methodically through counterpoint. The books assignments are its greatest assest. Because they often build on previous assignments, be sure not to skip any. The lessons are aggressive, but easily followed during self-study.
