Teoría Completa De La Música (Edición Revisada)

La Teoría completa de la Música en esta nueva edición revisada, ha mantenido intactas todas aquellas cuestiones teórico-practicas que son inamovibles, al tiempo que conserva por su probada eficacia, su estructura temática, lo que la convierte tanto en una obra de consulta como en una obra capaz de ser estructurada y adaptada tanto al currículo de Conservatorios como al de las Escuelas de música, sean éstas regladas o no. Tampoco se ha olvidado al aficionado autodidacta, por lo que el lenguaje empleado procura ser directo, sin ambigüedades ni retóricas que dificulten su entendimiento.

Como toda obra viva y en constante evolución también se ha procurado revisar aquellos conceptos, definiciones, ejemplos, etc., susceptibles de modificación, al tiempo que se han ampliado, incorporado y en algún caso modificado materias y apartados que así lo requerían.

Este libro aspira a cumplir el propósito que lo inspiró, es decir, facilitar los medios teóricos suficientes (dentro del limitado espacio de una obra de estas características), que justifican y corroboran el fenómeno musical.
