Treatise On Canon And Fugue by Ernst Friedrich Richter is a comprehensive guide to the theory and practice of two important musical forms, the canon and the fugue. Originally published in 1878, this book is a valuable resource for music students, teachers, and composers alike. The author begins by defining the terms and explaining the historical development of these forms, then delves into the technical aspects of composition, including voice leading, harmony, and counterpoint. The book also includes numerous examples of canons and fugues from the works of Bach, Handel, Mozart, and other composers, with detailed analysis and commentary. Throughout the book, Richter emphasizes the importance of creativity and individual expression within the strict rules of canon and fugue writing. This classic work remains an essential reference for anyone interested in the art of musical composition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
