Counterpoint helps music theory and music composition students improve their musicianship by examining the voice leading that underlies Western tonal music. It proceeds by developing species counterpoint in the tradition of Johann Joseph Fux and his famous Gradus ad Parnassum (1725), but with attention to Heinrich Schenker’s more in-depth study. For the sake of brevity, musical examples are available on the Scarecrow Press website, rather than within the book itself.

In the authors mind it represents a course in Harmony, quite as much as in Counterpoint. It owes its inception to the authors often expressed conviction that these two courses of study cannot be separated and also to a constantly strength ening belief that the most rational, quickest and best way to acquire a thorough knowledge of the chords and their uses the recognized purpose of the study of Harmony is to be

Bach - the master of this style - the author takes students through a series of carefully graded, cumulative exercises that stress both analysis and writing. Benjamin covers chromaticism and fugal writing in exceptional detail. The exercises cover a wide range of formats, including error d
