  • Greatly expands the discussion of larger forms, especially of the sonata and rondo, adds coverage of the sentence, and extends the discussion of the sequence.
  • Revises and reorganizes the material on post-19th century developments (formerly in Chapter 28) into three separate chapters, making the content more digestible for students and instructors.
  • Increases the use of lead-sheet symbols throughout the book, providing students with a useful tool for the beginning steps of a harmonic analysis. Greater emphasis of lead-sheet symbols also helps students interested in popular music and jazz to understand the relevance of those styles to their study of tonal harmony.
  • Includes approximately 35 new excerpts from literature throughout the text and workbook, the majority of which can also be heard on the accompanying compact disks. Ten of these excerpts are from jazz/popular music.
