Eleven Thousand MODERN HARMONY IN ITS THEORY AND PRACTICE BY ARTHUR FOOTE A. M. AND WALTER R. SPALDING A. M. Assistant Professor of Music at Harvard University PRICE 1.50 ARTHUR P. SCHMIDT BOSTON LEIPZIG NEW YORK 120 BOYLSTOH STREET 136 FIFTH AVENUE Copyright 1905 by ARTHUK P. SCHMIDT PREFACE THE title of this work indicates the aim of the authors. Not a few statements and rules have been current in text-books that., from the point, of view of composers and of the best teachers to-day, are unnecessary and sometimes even incorrect. When we find a rule constantly broken by one great composer after another, it is probable that the rule ought to be mod ified or given up, and not that the composers are wrong. It is the inten tion that statements and rules in this book shall be expressed with exact truth, and explained when real explanation is possible. It has also been remembered that better work is secured by directions as to what may be done, than by laying too much stress upon what is forbidden. About some matters there is a marked difference of opinion among theorists such things cannot be considered as settled for good and all, and no definite statement should be made excluding other well-grounded points of view, e. g. the chords of the llth and 13th. The chord of the 6th has been treated with more detail than usual, an attempt having been made to analyze and classify the features that make this chord so difficult for the student. While the old strict rules as to secondary 7ths are given fully, the modern theory and use of these chords have received just consideration. The chord of the 9th has been discussed as a largely independent chord it was also obvious that the growing feelingabout chords of the llth and 13th ought to be recognized, although the opinion of the authors, as ex plained in the chapter on that subject, is that these latter can seldom be classified as independent chords. It is believed that the treatment of chromatic alterations in chords, and of the augmented 6th, 6-5 and 6-4-3 chords is in accordance with present thought, and that this is also the case as regards suspension. The chapter on the old modes is necessarily brief, but it is hoped that it may lead the student to further investigation of an important and inter esting question. It is often the case that exercises with figured basses are written, correctly, but only mathematically, by simply reckoning each chord as-a kind of puzzle, without reflecting that the whole thing means music after 5341S6O PREFACE all. The most difficult thing, for one not used to it, is the having a mental conception of the real sounds of the symbols written down in other words, hearing with the eye. Education now is directed to the thing, not to the symbol. As the practical way of working in that direction, in this book from the very beginning the harmonizing of melodies goes step by step with the writing from figured basses. It is hoped that the illustra tions quoted from many composers will be of help by showing what has actually been done with our harmonic material. For matters connected with acoustics 5, 13, the student is referred to Helmholtzs book On the Sensations of Tone, and to the essay on Partial Tones in Groves Dictionary of Music BOSTON, August, 1905.

More poems from that raconteur of ribaldry, Arthur Foot III! Yes, Arthur Foot III: poet, artist, bon-vivant and the decidedly male half of Britain's premier Steampunk/Music-Hall/Comedy/Poetry double act The Cogkneys is proud to present his second book of comic poetry, Ribald For Your Pleasure II: Poetic Boogaloo. A collection of yet more rollicking, innuendo-laden verse from the author of 'Trousers', 'Oh! Those Naughty Tentacles' and 'My Fabulous Erection'. Featuring poems about smut, booze and, er, other stuff, this slender yet inviting tome will titillate, amuse and edify. 6" x 9", perfect binding , cream interior paper (60# weight) , black and white interior ink , white exterior paper (100# weight), full-colour exterior ink.

Composed originally in four movements during 1907-08, Foote dropped the Theme and Variations while revising the work prior to its premiere, given in Boston on April 16, 1909 with the Boston Symphony under the direction of Max Fieldler. The work gained almost immediate popularity and still performed today. This new study score is a digitally enhaved reissue of the edition first published in 1909 by Arthur P. Schmidt of Boston. Unlike so many of the on-demand scores now available, this one comes with all the pages and the images have been thoroughly checked to make sure it is readable. As with all PLP scores a percentage of each sale is donated to the amazing online archive of free music scores and recordings, IMSLP - Petrucci Music Library.

Finally, at long last, and by popular demand, Arthur Foot III presents his greatest poems from his legendary performances with The Cogkneys, plus many poems that have never been performed anywhere. Featuring Trousers, Oh! Those Naughty Tentacles, The German Inventrix and many more. Yes, now you can enjoy My Fabulous Erection whenever you like! (Tilly Maydme, Arthur's cockney sparrow sidekick also has a piece or two in there.)
