Roman numeral analysis/figured bass guide?
on: April 03, 2011, 02:52:17 PM
Hi,

I'm trying to learn the roman numeral analysis/figured bass notation system, and I was just wondering if anyone here knows of an online comprehensive guide online I can use for study. I tried Googling and only find bits and pieces here and there...

Any help greatly appreciated!

This doesn't really go into figured bass, but gives you a good overview of harmony in a tutorial format:  https://www.teoria.com/tutorials/hf/index.htm

Here's kind of a klutzy explanation of figured bass that you may have found already:

Hope this helps a little!

The text book by Roger Sessions should be available at your local library. If you are going to learn it, at least learn it correctly.
