5.0 out of 5 stars A Panacea for the Pandemic
By Kent G. Holt on July 31, 2020
I started out as a piano major and somehow ended up as a government lawyer. Now nearing retirement, I look forward to spending many hours with this book along with my musical circle of friends who have learned to adapt in these times with things like the a capella app. This book makes theory fun! I would even say that under oath. Mortensen is a fantastic explainer, soother, and teacher. Both in the area of historic preservation and classical piano pedagogy. I was lucky to get a second copy for a friend before the first printing ran out.
I posted a photo-I took my book to FedEx (like I have done for other scores) and had them bind it. They do a great job and know not to get into the notes. I'm also enjoying Dr. Mortensen's book recommendations on Partimento and the Naples music conservatories. Thank you, Dr. Mortensen!
