Now this is shocking! Never heard of that before... I have to clarify that I have many (or enough ;) books on the subject or related somehow (including Harold Owen�s Modal and Tonal Counterpoint). I just tried to find online resources for my students to look at. One book that I love is Clemens K�hn "Formenlehre der Musik" in its Spanish edition. And going more off-topic, I did a search on Bernd Alois Zimmerman and I found less than 200 hits! The author of one of the all-time best operas is completely forgotten. Sigh... Thanks to all who responded so far, Javier. _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
