No. It's these continuo excercises. Continuo Playing According to Handel.
Running commentary by David Ledbetter.

If those are the ones out on Dover. I really want to get them. Your sister likes 'em?

I've only read the ones I referred to in my first post. C. P. E. and J. S.

Well, the Handel one is real short. I'll be done with that by tomorrow.

Yeah, that's it:

Ok, that she has.

She thought, that you meant



The Complete Sonatas for Violin & Figured Bass Book 2



She says, this is a decent translation of the Nivers.


Guillaume-Gabriel Nivers

You're 16 years old and your younger sister reads books on continuo playing?

He is failing to point out, that his twin sister is a whopping 10 minutes younger.

Well, it's a weird thing for a teenager to pick up and start reading on their own.

Yeah, fantastic book.

I had little to no understanding of serial composition before I started reading this book. Unfortunately, I was too slack to finish it. Not because it was hard to read, it was really stimulating, much more than I thought it would be. I think end of year exams got in the way... I might pick it up and finish it one day. It had some really good examples.

im trying to choose between "Harmony and Voice Leading" by Schachter and Aldwell, and Piston's "Harmony". pros and cons of each? ive looked on amazon.com a lot, and reading the reviews has confused me even more.

also, what do you think of "Counterpoint in Composition" (Salzer and Schachter), and Brindle's "Musical Composition"?

my music teacher said he'd try to hook me up with someone at the symphony for lessons in theory, orchestration, composition, etc.. this summer, so that should be good.

Piston's textbook is pretty expensive...and I haven't read the other one you mentioned.

What do you already know? I ii iii IV V vi vii ? Circle of fifths?

Have you studied counterpoint at all yet?




The Brindle is an easy read about serial composition.
