The Sound of Chords, by Harry Laurence Hart, is a unique and practical method created for young composers for the purpose of accurately evaluating the sound of any chord, and for comparing the sounds of different chords. This book will also help them understand relationships between chords that contain different numbers of pitches, and help them develop chord progressions. It also provides a brief introduction to the foundations of harmony and tonality.
