Bach: Chorale Harmonization/Instrumental Counterpoint by Malcolm Boyd

This comprehensive guide to chorale harmonization and instrumental counterpoint is based on methods known to have been adopted by Johann Sebastian Bach himself. The exercises are graded to encourage the development of both technique and imagination within a closely-defined framework.

By close analysis, the author helps the reader to recognize the procedures Bach adopted in various musical situations, using largely taken from his keyboard works. This book is an invaluable resource for musicians seeking to deepen their understanding of counterpoint and harmony.
