Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Cumulative Harmony is a music theory book written by William Johnston McCoy and originally published in 1916. The book is designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the principles of harmony in music, with a focus on the concept of ""cumulative harmony"" - the idea that chords and harmonies build upon each other to create a sense of progression and development in a musical piece.The book is divided into several sections, each of which covers a different aspect of harmony. The first section provides an overview of the basic principles of harmony, including an explanation of chords, intervals, and scales. Subsequent sections delve deeper into topics such as chord progressions, modulation, and counterpoint.Throughout the book, McCoy uses numerous examples from classical music to illustrate his points, including works by Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, and others. He also includes exercises and practice questions to help readers apply the concepts they have learned.Overall, Cumulative Harmony is a comprehensive and detailed guide to the principles of harmony in music, suitable for both beginners and more advanced musicians.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
