Description

Apart from singing, music-making and conscious listening, it is mastering elementary music theory – the knowledge of fundamental melodic, harmonic and rhythmic relations – that helps to understand the various forms of music. ‘Neue Allgemeine Musiklehre’ has made it its business to introduce the learner to the basics and help him/her to acquire the necessary knowledge; in addition, it encourages the advanced learner to repeat the subjects and serves as a work of reference. The extensive material is arranged in a clear order, containing numerous music examples, illustrations and tabular charts. Exercises that can be self-checked allow that which has been read to become that which has been learnt.
