This thorough treatise on the elements, character, and function of orchestral sound defines how each section of the orchestra functions both alone and in concert with others. His commentary is supported throughout by generous examples from the standard concert literature: a Berlioz example of the string section imitating a guitar; the division of wind passages between different instruments in a Brahms symphony; examples by Wagner and Rossini of one group pitted against the other; the effect of contrasting color in music by Haydn and Tchaikovsky; examples from Beethoven’s Violin Concerto,

In Harmony, we are frequently neeting with cases in which the rules of the old text-books need inuch modification but with regard to Fugue there are few indeed of the old precepts are not continually, not to say systenatically violated by the greatest masters. The reason for this is no doubt that the standard authorities on the subject, Fux and Marpurg, treate

Counterpoint STRICT AND FREE. PART I.-STRICT COUNTERPOINT, CHAPTER I, introduction. 1. By the word Counterpoint is meant the art of adding to a given melody one or more other melodies, above or below, in such a manner that all the parts when sounded together shall produce correct harmony.
