Yet even within the classical canon, there are innumerable examples of composers diverging from these foundational \"rules.\" Drawing on examples from composers including J.S. Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Mendelssohn, Chopin, Brahms, and more, \u003ci\u003eBending the Rules of Music Theory\u003c\/i\u003e seeks to take readers beyond the basics of music theory and help them to understand the inherent flexibility in the system of tonal music. Chapters explore the use of different rule-breaking elements in practice and why they work, introducing students to a more nuanced understanding of music theory.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54238234837336,"sku":"9781138478244","price":73.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781138478244.jpg?v=1768381247","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/bending-the-rules-of-music-theory","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
