Peter Iljitsch Tschaikowsky

Guide To the Practical Study of Harmony

Written during the composer's years as a professor at the renowned Moscow Conservatory, this volume presents a clear and thorough introduction to the study of harmony - a complete course in writing music featuring numerous examples and exercises. It functions equally well as a classroom text, an adjunct to private instruction, or as a guide to individual musicians.

Out of print for several decades and exceedingly rare in its original edition, the Guide to Practical Study of Harmony holds an intrinsic historical interest. This is the unabridged republication of the classic 1900 edition and is an excellent manual which remains as useful and instructive today as it was at the turn of the 20th century.
