Counterpoint and Harmony.
Hi, everyone!
I am new to this youngcomposers.com world, but I must say I was really excited that such community exists online!
I am a music enthusiast and I have bought many books on music theory, orchestration and composition. My doubts resides in these... I am focusing on 3 of WALTER PISTON's books - Harmony, Counterpoint and Orchestration, but now I come across a small doubt: is there an order I should respect when reading these books? I mean, should I take Harmony first, then Counterpoint and finally Orchestration? Should I read them all at the same time (though this might be confusing)
It's just that I don't want to start off with the wrong foot with these, since I treasure a good musical foundation.
Please help me out here, guys (and girls)!
Thank you all!
Musically yours,
Eduardo Hans.
