MSUM Library
honors the 2007 promotion of
Allen Carter
Music
Forte, Allen. Tonal Harmony in Concept and Practice. Holt, Rinehart and Winston, 1979.
Dr. Carter chose this book because:
“I had finished my undergraduate theory sequence but still didn’t feel I understood tonal harmony and part writing when I stumbled upon this book. Forte enabled me to understand things at a completely different level. His approach in this text makes tonal concepts crystal clear, and I’m confident that whatever successes I have in the classroom are, at least in some measure, a result of what I learned from Forte.”
