Book excerpt: This volume will prove especially valuable to the student of the technique of part-writing conceived in the period of composition in which clearly defined tonalities were dominant. There is no type of music better suited to give him technical guidance and example. In this edition Miss Wonderlich has carefully selected and ably edited 156 Bach chorales in a manner which makes them of great practical value to the young student. The book is especially notable, however, for the inclusion of 42 Swedish and Norwegian chorales of unusual beauty. In addition to their esthetic value, these Scandinavian chorales in the stark simplicity of their harmonization form a valuable contrast to the more familiar chorales of Bach. - Foreword.
