Written by Ernst Friedrich Richter, a renowned German composer and music educator, the book offers a practical approach to the study of harmony, with a focus on the principles of tonal music. The book is divided into several sections, each of which covers a different aspect of harmony. The first section introduces the basic concepts of melody and harmony, including scales, intervals, chords, and cadences. The second section delves deeper into the study of chords, including their inversions, progressions, and harmonization of melodies. The third section explores more advanced topics, such as modulation, chromaticism, and polyphony. The final section of the book provides exercises and examples to help students practice and apply the concepts they have learned.Throughout the book, Richter emphasizes the importance of understanding harmony as a means of expressing emotion and creating beauty in music. He provides numerous examples from classical music to illustrate his points, and includes helpful diagrams and illustrations to aid in understanding complex concepts.Overall, Richter's Manual of Harmony is an invaluable resource for anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of music theory and composition. Its clear and concise explanations, combined with practical exercises and examples, make it a must-read for students and professionals alike.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
