Excerpt from Lessons in Harmony: Complete
The object of this book is to furnish a suitable text for the study of harmony, with illustrative examples, and a definite assignment of lessons.
It was neither the intention nor desire of the authors that it should represent a work covering the entire ground of harmonic structure. But their aim throughout has been to use only such material as is necessary to give the student a clear and intelligent knowledge of modern harmonic practices, and to enable him to continue the work by original research in the works of the masters. Emphasis is laid upon the value of being able to play readily, in any key, a large number of cadence formulae, and also the different modulations in parts three and four. For this reason the work is only partially prepared if the work at the piano is omitted.
Since parts I and II are also issued separately it has been necessary to duplicate the page and illustration numbering in these. A reference to anything in part I will always be accompanied by the words "Part I", when in any other part, the page or illustration number, only, will be given.
Parts I and II were prepared by Arthur E. Heacox, and Parts III, IV and V by Friedrich J. Lehmann.
