<br> The exercises are inspirationally clever. . . . I like the wide variety of 'real music' examples as well and I suspect that my grad students would be equally appreciative. . . . I like the summaries, point-by-point reminders, and suggestions about such matters as how to figure a bass or how to write a sequence. Students will find such lists to be both very clear and very comforting. --Neil Minturn, University of Missouri<p><br>
