Reviews for Audacious Euphony: Chromatic Harmony and the Triad´s Second Nature
This book is a major contribution to the field of music theory ... Cohn targets not only music theorists but also music historians, conductors, performers, and any interested music listener with a modest level of music-theory training. Avoiding excessive theoretical jargon ... he presents analyses ... that are illuminating regardless of one's theoretical background ... Highly recommended
