After Thomas Krämer has already written significant books on harmony and analysis, his counterpoint has been eagerly anticipated. The comprehensive textbook is now available. It is written in an understandable manner, contains over 800 musical examples, goes far beyond four-part writing for the first time, and also offers three valuable excursions on the principles of text setting, figured bass, and counterpoint, as well as harmony and counterpoint, which closely surround the core topic. With its extensive solution section, the book is particularly well-suited for self-study. "I have decided to use this book as the basis for my composition classes in the future and hope that this serves as a strong recommendation for this work." (Karl Dorneger, Singing Church).
