At 62 pages, it is remarkably short, but if you are familiar with four-part counterpoint, it can really open your eyes to the creative possibilities of Western tonal music. Each example is more like a puzzle. How can I get from key A to key B? That said, I thought the notation used to describe the chords was a little confusing and it's definitely not an introductory work of musical theory.
