Description

Originally published in 1893, this volume remains one of the most comprehensive and authoritative works on musical structure. Hugo Riemann, a renowned German musicologist and theorist, provides a clear and concise exposition of the principles of modulation, illustrated with numerous musical examples from the works of Bach, Beethoven, Schubert, and other masters.

This Dover edition includes a new by music theorist and historian Richard Taruskin, who provides a valuable overview of Riemann's life and work and places his treatise in the context of late nineteenth-century music theory.
