Description:

This Workbook has been designed to accompany Piston's Harmony, Fifth Edition, as revised by Mark DeVoto, and to supplement it where necessary. Some of you will welcome the persistent drill of fundamentals that the Workbook provides; many will profit from the systematic reviews; others may wish to concentrate on the creative exercises; all, it is hoped, will benefit from further exposure to a wide diversity of styles and compositions.
