Music Theory: A Syllabus for Teacher and Student, Volume 1"This work is designed for a three-semester or a two-year program of class instruction in theory, in colleges or conservatories. ... [I]t seeks to increase an awareness of the relationship of harmony to form,a nd to assist in developing a more consistent system of harmonic figuring for diatonic harmony.
