Schott Music Crashkurs Harmonielehre

In addition to practical experience, knowledge of music theory is essential. With a solid basic knowledge, making music is easier and complex pieces can be better acquired.

Crashkurs Harmonielehre presents a quick introduction to the topics of intervals, chords, scales, cadences and modulations, which are presented here in a clear and condensed manner. A bonus is the analysis of the content against the background of different musical styles. Thus, the stylistic manifestations of harmony in the basso continuo in classical, romantic, jazz, and pop music are also covered here. To understand this book, only a little knowledge of notation and music theory is required.
