Counterpoint helps music theory and music composition students improve their musicianship by examining the voice leading that underlies Western tonal music. It proceeds by developing species counterpoint in the tradition of Johann Joseph Fux and his famous Gradus ad Parnassum (1725), but with attention to Heinrich Schenker's more in-depth study. For the sake of brevity, musical examples are available on the Scarecrow Press website, rather than within the book itself.
