Compiled over a period of more than 40 years, Elliot Carter's Harmony Book is a massive encyclopedia devoted to exploring harmonic relationships in the 12 note chromatic scale. Mr Carter has acknowledged that the Harmony Book was planned and developed to serve only as a tool for his compositional work, rather than as a resourcefor public usage. It was a project for self reference, and in many ways its development can be traced to develpments in his own music. Forward and commentqary by John Link. 369 pages with glossary and appedices. Hard Cover.
