Quote:
If you're serious about composition, you'd study up on counterpoint, harmony, orchestration, and all of those wonderfully entertaining books  . But even these in-depth analytical books won't help you as much the composers will. Your greatest source of study and musical information are the greats, or composers that you deem good ones. Musical scores say more than any book, no matter how many words.

I would have to agree there.
The books help us learn what stretto and such are though.
So, I would definately agree studying scores is best, but books are
great too.
