Practical
Harmony is an
attempt to set forth in a
clear and concise manner
the principles of
harmonic combination and
progression, as
exemplified in the works
of the masters. The fact
that many excellent books
on Harmony already exist
makes some detailed
explanation of its aims
and scope necessary. It
has seemed to the author
that most of the works in
circulation on this
important subject have
either gone too far, or
not far enough; that it
to say, have either been
elaborate theoretical
treatises, quite beyond
the requirements of the
average student, or have
been merely primers, with
a more or less sketchy
survey of the more
important branches of the
study.
So wrote Stewart
Macpherson in 1904. He
then revised the book on
two occasions, making
Practical
Harmony an essential
book on the subject and
which has, by popular
demand, been reproduced
in full in this facsimile
edition.
