About the Author
Job IJzerman has graduated in piano and music theory. He teaches music theory at the Conservatory of Amsterdam. A scholarship granted by the Dutch Department of Education, Culture and Science allowed him to perform research into the field of partimento and schema theory. The textbook Harmony, Counterpoint, Partimento is its final outcome.
Reviews
IJzerman has developed a historically informed approach to eighteenth- and nineteenth-century harmony and counterpoint, one which takes advantage of the old keyboard exercises known as partimenti. The benefits of those lessons are well known, but until now no one had put together a text that adapted them for the modern classroom. IJzerman covers the era from Bach through Brahms, provides a teacher's manual, and an extensive workbook. If you have bright students, this is the text they would want if they had the choice. * Robert O. Gjerdingen, Professor Emeritus at The School of Music, Northwestern University *
Drawing on recent research on partimento and eighteenth-century schemata, IJzerman's Harmony, Counterpoint, Partimento is unlike any other textbook on the market. Its emphasis on the bass line as the driver of harmonic motion is especially praiseworthy. * Roger Graybill, New England Conservatory *
