期末考題:申論題之一

請由你的理論課程學習經驗,試著闡述下列三位著名作曲家對於「對位理論」的看法:
  • “In composition he started his pupils right in with what was practical, and omitted all the dry species of counterpoint that are given in Fux and others.”
    (C. P. E. Bach, to the Bach biographer J. N. Forkel)

  • “He worked his way through the whole method, did the exercises, put them by for several weeks, then looked them over again and polished them until he thought he had got them right.”
    (young Haydn went through the pages of Fux’s Gradus, described by G. A. Griesinger)

  • “Look, gentlemen, this is the rule; needless to say, I don’t write that way”
    (Anton Bruckner)
