The target era is the Viennese Classical period, which spans just under one hundred years between around 1730 and 1830. The focus is on the greatest representatives of their time: Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven.
The book, which is to some extent a continuation of Dr. Kiss' 2015 textbook A Practical Approach to Harmony: From the Birth of Polyphony to the Baroque Era, concentrates on the practical aspects of studying music theory, form, and harmony.
