Exercise #18🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
About Morris/Ferguson:
"Preperatory Exercises in Score Reading" by R.O. Morris and Howard Ferguson consists of 124 short excerpts using a mixture of treble, alto, tenor and bass clefs and various common transpositions. The book concentrates on diatonic harmonic study (including diminished sevenths) and harmonic counterpoint in up to three parts. The exercises train students to take in many staves at once, to see where the principal melody is, to understand harmonies and modulations, to read various clefs, and transpose as necessary.
Why am I doing this?
In my training as a conductor, one of my biggest deficiencies has thus far been the ability to read scores at the piano. Many orchestral scores contain a variety of clefs and transpositions (ie, viola in alto clef, cello in tenor clef, clarinet in B flat, etc.) Through studying this book, I hope to improve upon my ability to read open scores as a method of greater understanding the music I study.
FYI I'm not a pianist by trade, in case that's not painfully obvious
Enjoy?
