Description

This classic study remains one of the foremost works on the music of the 16th-century composer known as Palestrina. A rigorous and valuable analysis of the composer's handling of rhythm, line, and harmony, it explores his treatment of dissonance as well as the evolving concept and treatment of dissonance by his predecessors.
