Contrappunto e composizione

by Felix Salzer, Carl Schachter, Mario Baroni (Translator)

"Mettendo in discussione lo studio 'astratto' del contrappunto così come viene praticato da secoli nei nostri Conservatori, Felix Salzer e Carl Schachter intendono dimostrare in questo libro quanto la concezione didattica del contrappunto (interpretato come esercizio preventivo rispetto allo studio della composizione) sia, in realtà, riduttiva. I due studiosi ampliano dunque questa prospettiva mostrando come gli schemi fondamentali e semplici del vecchio contrappunto scolastico, stabiliti da Fux nel 1700, si ritrovino anche nelle composizioni più sofisticate e complesse del secolo successivo e del Novecento (in Beethoven, in Wagner, in Skrjabin...)..."

[Richard Pohl · Rating 4 out of 5]

Very comphrehensive volume offering a heavily Schenkerian approach to the voice leading issues... Includes for me very unusual techniques and views still based on the classical "Fuxian" counterpoint, but taking it in unexpected direction ("prolonged counterpoint"). If you don't have at least basic comprehension of Schenkerian thinking and methods, it's not book for you.

Best book out there for species counterpoint. The second half uncovers some very fundamental concepts in how harmony and counterpoint are intertwined and how the counterpoint learned in the first half serves as the backbone to functional harmony.
