Composing Music: A New Approach
Autor William Russo Contribuţii de Jeffrey Ainis, David Stevensonen Limba Engleză Paperback – 15 feb 1988
A remarkably practical guide to composing for beginners that teaches you how to write music by diving in and doing it
Aimed at those who have some knowledge of music but not formal training in composition, this concise introduction to composing starts right in with a brief composition exercise, then proceeds step by step through a series of increasingly complex and challenging problems, gradually expanding the student's musical grammar.
The book includes blank music score pages for you to use for exercises and experiments. In addition to covering various styles of contemporary music, including both pop and classical genres, Composing Music addresses the challenge of setting words to music, writing minimalist compositions, and more.
Composing Music is the perfect introduction to writing music of all sorts for engaged beginners.

Recenzii
“A basic philosophy behind this book is that the way to learn to compose is to compose. The book aims at practicality and at getting the aspiring composer to write down some music right away. The student is taken step by step through brief explanations and exercises that require him or her to follow composing's basic tenets. The emphasis on practicality is demonstrated in the general rules students are given at the beginning of the book.”
“The second half of the book deals with writing for instruments that are available to you with techniques in popular music, and with a look at a few concepts from modern ‘serious’ music. This is a wonderful book for anyone who is developing improvising skills or who would like a fun way to explore music.”
