Mind, Voice and Fingers. Basics of Music Theory

Andrei Danilov presents to readers a perspective on music theory that will be useful both for those encountering the subject for the first time and for those who thought they already knew everything about it. The author does not invent new ideas but brilliantly connects positions of sound physics, harmony, rhythm, voice leading, polyphony, solfeggio, musical form, and instrumentology in the spirit of the ideas of Harmonia Mundi. And all this in perspective from Antiquity to our days. About the author: Andrei Danilov is a musician, composer, sound designer, musicologist, and teacher at the Moscow Music School.
