These harmony texts, brought together in three collections, propose a whole itinerary ranging from 3-note chords to texts in the style of composers. They are intended for young musicians, whether they be instrumentalists, analysts, conductors or future composers. The diversity of types of training - vocal quartet, string quartet, piano and instrument and piano - fully meets musical needs. Within the same chapter, texts are not classified by order of difficulty; similarly, certain passages of a text can be given in class, and the Chopin, Bartók and Mozart phrases themes, of which the initial aim is the elaboration of a composition (piano pieces, motet, etc.), can also be treated as harmonic exercises or themes and variations. It is therefore up to the teacher to decide on how to use them.
