| There's an old post in the piano lounge where we went round about this book, hopefully you can find it somewhere. In summary, I have found it unhelpful although I did learn a bit from the general expose of voice leading. I even posted a chapter by chapter review of the contents and a minimal analysis of each. He presents basically one pattern per type mentioned (I presume his favorite for each) and I never successfully applied any of them to a song. Others countered my view and claimed it was a very helpful book for them. You can probably find more info on the author's website, there used to be the audio examples from the book there. |
