Excerpt from Course of Harmony: Being a Manual of Instruction in the Principles of Thorough-Bass and Harmony Compiled From the Works of the Best Writers on Musical Science, and Containing Numerous Examples and Exercises, Selected From Various Sources The author of the following elementary treatise on Musical Composition, begs leave to say a few words on his design, and the manner of its execution. In the course of preparing a text-book for the use of students of Counterpoint and Fugue, it was found that much was taken for granted as known by the scholar, which was not taught in the ordinary works on Thorough-Bass and Harmony; The writer immediately commenced a chapter, which might in a measure remedy the difficulty, by supplying what was wanting in common works, and what was at first intended only as an introduction to a work on the higher branches of musical art, at length expanded into the present volume. Those who are themselves practical Teachers of Harmony and Thorough-Bass, have doubtless felt the great need, and hitherto, total lack of a Manual of Instruction, which should present the different topics, briefly perhaps, yet with adequate clearness, accompanied by examples sufficient to elucidate the rules and directions of the text.
