Description

Le Traité de l'harmonie de Jean-Philippe Rameau est l'un des ouvrages les plus significatifs de l'histoire de la musique occidentale. Initially published in 1722, the treatise was instantly acknowledged as a significant breakthrough in musical theory, as it was the first to formalize the principles of tonality that would influence Western music for nearly two centuries. Even now, Rameau's theories continue to form the foundation for harmony studies.
