Between the two workbooks--each of which is packaged with an audio CD--there are more than 2,000 recorded analytical and dictation examples and fifteen hours of recorded music (all music is performed, recorded, and engineered at Eastman). Additional supplementary material is available on the new companion website (www.oup.com/us/laitz). Features of the Writing and Analysis Workbook * Accompanied by an audio CD (packaged FREE with workbook) containing high-quality MP3 recordings of nearly all the music in the workbook (performances range from solo piano to full orchestra) * Presents a variety of written and analyticalactivitiesincluding figured bass, melody harmonization, model composition, and analysis * Includes better focused and shorter assignments(each chapter is organized into discrete assignments, usually four assignments per chapter) * Contains carefully graduated exercises,ranging from basic, introductory tasks, to more active writing exercises, and finally to creative compositional projects
