Excerpt from The Tonal Scale in Harmony: Modern Chords Explained, With Musical Examples From the Works of C. Debussy, Richard Strauss and Granvill Bantock
To face the problem candidly and fearlessly is to discover in it most fascinating elements, and to justify much that is still under the. Unspoken ban of the theorists. For much still remains over after all the usual exceptions have been catalogued. It is exactly this quantum that affords the advanced theorist the most happy results when treated with the candour he can bring to bear on it. And now our policy deals with this question specifically and in detail. Broadly stated, we go on the assumption that if the effect is musical. The means used must be right; and that if existing theory condemns the means then the theory is wrong and must be te-cast to classify that means, already justified in practice.

Excerpt from The Tonal Scale in Harmony: Modern Chords Explained, With Musical Examples From the Works of C. Debussy, Richard Strauss and Granvill Bantock
If composers had awaited on theory to justify their methods the greatest works would never have existed. Theory has always lagged behind, timidly far to the rear of practice; only in fact by disregarding the former have the boldest creative spirits achieved epoch-making work. It was common knowledge in his time that Purcell was a blundering experimenter, Bach did not write correct fugue, Beethoven perpetrated ugly progressions, Wagner was a charlatan, Richard Strauss was and remains to many a danger-signal, and Claude Debussy a nightmare.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book challenges the rigid rules of traditional music theory and offers a fresh perspective on harmony. It delves into the history of how music theory has often lagged behind the daring innovations of composers, arguing that theory should follow practice rather than restrict it. The author champions the use of dissonance, exploring how composers like Purcell, Wagner, Strauss, and Debussy have employed it to create compelling and innovative sounds. The book particularly focuses on the "tonal scale," a system of whole tones that has long been used implicitly by composers but has never been formally recognized by theorists. The author argues that this scale offers a greater freedom of expression and movement than traditional diatonic scales. He provides detailed examples from classic and contemporary works to illustrate how the tonal scale and its chords have been used and how they contribute to a more fluid and expressive approach to harmony. This book provides a powerful framework for understanding the evolution of harmony and offers a valuable resource for anyone interested in exploring the possibilities of music beyond traditional boundaries.
