The purpose of this work is to supply the need in the OberlinConservatory of Music of a text-book on Simple Counterpoint containinga definite assignment of lessons, and affording more practicethan usual in combining species.
It is a treatise on strict counterpoint, but strict in a limited senseonly. In two-part counterpoint with other than the first species inboth parts, dissonances are permitted under certain conditions, andin three- and four-part writing the unprepared seventh and ninth,and the six-four chord, are allowed in certain ways.
While the illustrations have been written in close score, it isnevertheless urged that all exercises be written out in open score,as the movement of the different parts is thus more clearly seen.
The use of the C-clefs is left optional with the teacher.
A knowledge of harmony is presupposed, hence nothing is saidpertaining to it.
The author wishes to express his indebtedness to Professor A.E.Heacox for his help and advice.
