The Author's PREFACE. THE subsequent Treatise contains instructions for the study in single, double, triple and quadruple Counterpoint. All the rules, principles and remarks set forth in this volume, are founded on the contrapuntal works of Bach, Handel, and other classical masters, who have written in our system of the major and minor keys. These studies in Counterpoint are intended to prepare the student for the composition of Canon and Fugue; but those also, who do not intend to become musicians by profession, will be enabled to penetrate more deeply into the works of the classical masters and to cope with their sublime creations. Let no one imagine, however, that the knowledge of the rules alone would suffice; these would be attained quickly and with little trouble. Only serious, conscientious study can further the pupil, here, as well as in all other disciplines of art. Only then, when the student has mastered all the problems, contained in this book in a thorough manner, will he be enabled to proceed to the study of Canon and Fugue.

Ernst Kurth as Theorist and Analyst is the first book length study devoted to the writings of one of this century's most important music theorists. In contrast to previous discussions, Lee A. Rothfarb's study explains Kurth's theories in light of his analyses of specific musical examples. Unlike many of his contemporaries, Kurth approached music primarily from a cognitive rather than a purely technical viewpoint. In a unique kind of experiential analysis, he examined the psychological foundations of counterpoint, harmony, and form, and considered the affective, as opposed to solely structural or syntactic, effects of melody, chord, interval, and tone. The introduction provides a biographical sketch of Kurth, based on archival research and personal interview with his widow, son, and many of his doctoral students. Rothfarb also discusses the intellectual currents of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, both musical and nonmusical, which shaped Kurth's outlook. Eight chapters summarize the main ideas of Grundlagen des linearen Kontrapunkts and Romantische Harmonik and show the directions Kurth took in his later works, Bruckner and Musikpsychologie. A final chapter identified his influence on several of his well-known contemporaries. Ernst Kurth as Theorist and Analyst will interest music theorists, musicologists, and advanced students of music theory.
