Personal remarks:
This is a heavily thumbed, treasured item in my music library and is the initial source of gained musical knowledge over the last 20 years. The subjects covered include "time", "fixed pitch", "relative pitch", "intervals, musical terms, signs and abbreviations", "phrase length and plans, melody analysis", "melody writing", "melody writing to words", "transposition", "modulation", "ornaments", "harmony", "musical instruments", "following a score", "musical form", "summary of musical history" and "study of prescribed composers and works".
