Are you a music lover i don’t want to ask if you love music almost everyone loves it and almost everyone has specific tastes but there is a lot more to music than just listening . Maybe you want to know more about its structure and how to analyze it? If so, let me recommend a very good book to you:

“Form in tonal music” by Douglas M. Green; Holt, Rinehart and Winston Publishing Company Incorporated; New York, NY; 1965; ISBN: 0-03-46015-7.

This book eliminates the confusion of the typical study of musical analysis, as it simplifies the disciplines of harmony and counterpoint, allowing the student to understand how to build without overloading with historical musical tunes and famous names. Knowing music without confusion first is the aim of this book, and therefore, perhaps it is a good first reading, before analyzing music from a historical perspective. I think I would recommend it to almost any serious music student.

The book contains chapters on the basics of sentence form, form, gender, and harmonic structure, as well as sentence development and combination. Then the book, which is written like a textbook, deals with the different analytical methodologies. The pupil will learn variations, ternary forms, rondo, sonata (very complete) and binary forms.

The movement of the concerto, the fugue and similar genres are discussed and then there is a final chapter, which is very fascinating, even proves that Green really knows his craft, as he enters the unique forms of the structure. You will be fascinated by the amount of information and the ways in which you can apply that knowledge when you are finished.
