Harmony, Counterpoint, Partimento : A New Method Inspired by Old Masters.

This undergraduate textbook takes a new approach to music theory, based on 18th century partimento instruction (based on figured or unfigured bass) and contemporary schema theory, which is concerned with the replication and recognition of musical patterns. The text discusses harmony in two, three, and four parts. Also included is a workbook of exercises. A companion website with further instruction is also available. With a preface, two appendices, and index.
