Lehmann is a comprehensive instructional book on the principles and practices of counterpoint, written in the early 20th century. Designed primarily as a textbook for students at the Oberlin Conservatory of Music, it focuses on the technique of combining melodies while adhering to the rules that govern musical harmony. The book entails detailed lessons that cover various species of counterpoint, encouraging both theoretical understanding and practical application. The text is divided into forty lessons, progressing from the simplest forms of counterpoint to more complex structures. Lehmann begins with foundational concepts, such as definitions and types of intervals, before introducing the five species of counterpoint—each characterized by the relationship between cantus firmus and counterpoint lines. Through clear examples and exercises, students learn to create dissonances, utilize syncopation, and understand harmonic progressions while maintaining the independence of melodic lines. The lessons culminate in Florid Counterpoint and free harmonization, enabling learners to craft intricate musical pieces that demonstrate both creativity and adherence to structural rules.
