Features: Harmony Theory: A Course is a collective work by several teachers from the Harmony Department of the Moscow Conservatory of Music in the former Soviet Union. It was first published in the 1930s. The book inherits and develops the functional theory of harmony, which was laid down by the French composer and music scholar Jean-Philippe Rameau, known as the "Father of Harmony in Europe," and established by the outstanding German music theorist Hugo Riemann (1849–1919). It has made outstanding contributions to harmony theory and textbook development, and was recommended by the Soviet authorities responsible for art education as a textbook for conservatories and music academies. The functional theory of harmony explained in the book is a scientific theory for studying harmony in European classical and romantic music works. The exercises in the book are closely related to the content of each chapter and are highly targeted.
