Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book traces the evolution of symphonic music from its earliest origins in vocal counterpoint and medieval song. The author argues that counterpoint and harmony, crucial elements of symphonies, were nurtured by independent experiments in vocal music in the 16th and 17th centuries. The book also examines the different forms of composition that preceded the symphony, including the sonata and the fugue, and explores the influence that folk songs had on the development of symphonic themes. A detailed analysis of various compositions, including works by Palestrina, Purcell, Bach, and Beethoven, illustrates the author's points and showcases the depth of insight in this work.
