An edition of Thesaurus of scales and melodic patterns (1947)

Thesaurus of scales and melodic patterns.

Simply stated this book is a "how" process to creating and improvising music and in so doing answers that inevitable question of "why?" Why is something not working or why does it work? By playing the examples ( of which there are more than a thousand) ones ear is developed to new levels of sensitivity giving a composer or player nearly limitless material from which to create. I highly recommend it.
