Key features include: initial note-against-note settings employing cantus firmus give way to more involved diminution techniques and then to consideration of the chorale prelude; introduces invertible and imitation counterpoint, culminating in the study of canon, invention, and fugue; and includes appropriately placed separate chapters on chromaticism, contrapuntal devices, variation, and choral writing.

Review
"It seems to be a refreshing approach to a sometimes tiring subject for students. I appreciate the advanced analysis in place of simple score insertion. The layout is logical and the cost is reasonable." --Gregory Hoepfner, Cameron University

The only downside is that there are a few typos here and there. The very few that I've found were obvious small little things that don't affect the change in the content at all, maybe a number missing from a roman number analysis (like 6 instead of 6/4) but you can still figure out around it pretty quick.
