Rudiments and Theory Of Music begins at the very beginning of musical notation ‘Musical sounds are expressed by means of characters called notes.’ and proceeds logically through clear, thoroughly grounded explanations of keyand time signatures, scales, intervals, clefs, slurring, and more. Complexities of ornamentation, appoggiatura and acciaccatura and dealt with and there is a useful glossary of musical terms in Italian.This book is not only anauthoritative companion for the beginning musician, but also a handy reference for students as they make their way through the grades and a welcome refresher for musicians returning to their instrument after an extended interval.
