The masterpiece tell the performer what to do, and not the performer telling the piece what it should be like, or the cocomposer what he ought to have composed.

yes.  i tend to like older textbooks too.  they take more time to explain things in a step by step process and try not to skip any steps.  maybe i'll keep reading this through january.  thanks!

it is by no chance the greatest counterpoint book, but a good start I think.

The explanations seem a bit clunky to me, but everything you need to know is there. And the price can't be beat!  :D

i still like the old books too.  it's hard to let go of an old book, just for sentimental value.
