Description
Excerpt from A Course of Instruction on Canon and Fugue
Those who desire to profit by this book, ought to have thoroughly mastered all the studies in Harmony, simple and double Counterpoint, and the practice in exercises of more than four parts. A student, thus well prepared, will be enabled to follow this course of teaching of the Canon and Fugue, arranged in progressive order; and commencing with the easiest forms of imitation, to compose more elaborate compositions in the form of the Fugue.
Although the composers of the present day make use of'' this contrapuntal form comparatively seldom, we find its employment mostly in compositions for Organ, or in the choruses of Oratorios and Psalms; nevertheless, the study of the Fugue is indispensible to every true artist, especially to him who desires to devote him self to the cultivation of free composition.
