We will obviously find, in this Theory of Music , all the information which appears in any complete theory, on notation, measure and rhythm, intervals, tonality, etc., but here, each chapter is followed by a commentary entitled “To find out more”, which explains the reasons, historical or technical, which led to the rules and habits currently in force in Western music.
An important appendix deals with subjects that a traditional theory does not generally address, such as Gregorian notation, medieval modality, or new techniques and signs appearing in the 20th century : diatonic and chromatic modality, twelve-tone serialism, aleatoric music , special notations, guitar figures in jazz.
The whole is illustrated with numerous examples borrowed from classical or contemporary composers.
