Piston's Harmony
on: January 18, 2008, 02:25:29 AM
Does anyone know where to get the answers to the exercises in Piston's book "Harmony" for both the book and the workbook?  Am I missing something here?  It's nice to have a workbook, but without answers to the exercises it is worthless.

Good point.  I'm wondering now.  Usually the back of the book or chapter for math stuff....  But I don't think I've seen answers in the music books. 

When I did exercises, I just knew when I did them they were either right or I didn't know the answer so I had to go study more.

Maybe post them here and hope someone will check them.

It happens more often than you think. Some well respected theory and orchestration books give exercises on the assumption that an instructor will check them over. Overall, however, your book of choice has a good reputation.
