Beschreibung
Composing with Constraints provides an innovative approach to the instruction of the craft of music composition based on tailored exercises to help students develop their creativity. The 100 exercises that are included contain a unique set of guidelines and constraints intended to place the student in a specific compositional framework. By using the methodologies in this book, students will be able to create their own outlines for their compositions, making intelligent and educated compositional choices that balance reasoning with intuition.
