Title: A must have for serious study in species counterpoint
Review: In this book Schoenberg has you write out all the possibilities for each cantus firmus and then analyze them, which i feel is a very good approach so you can learn whats good,bad or acceptable when new problems are encountered . Also its in the major and minor format as opposed to the modal approach of Fux, Jeppensen etc. and, includes his concept of "monotonality" like in structural functions and theory of harmony. I found the modulations and neutralization very relevant because i also use that approach for harmonic progressions, modulations etc. which are in his harmony books. This book is a must have for any serious species counterpoint student as well as those who have strucural functions or theory of harmony and are interested in a new approach to species counterpoint.
