A one-semester review of written harmony topics designed for graduate students who have completed an undergraduate harmony (written theory) sequence. Topics include figured bass and part-writing, Roman numeral analysis, modulation, diatonic and chromatic harmony (including modal borrowing, Neapolitan and augmented 6th chords), extended tertian chords, atonal pitch-class theory and dodecaphonic operations, brief review of forms (binary, ternary, sonata, rondo), fugue, and orchestral score reading with special emphasis on instrumental transpositions. If placed in both the Graduate Harmony and the Aural Skills Review, it is recommended that the student take the Harmony Review prior to the Aural Skills Review.
