ADVANCED LESSONS FOR THE HARP
COMPRISING PRELUDES IN MINOR KEYS.
GLISSANDOS AND SOLOS IN CHARACTERISTIC FORMS
FOR HARP
ACCORDING TO THE FAMOUS
HASSELMANS METHOD

"Wuke into voice each silent string


And sweep the sounding lyre."

BY

GERTRUDE INA ROBINSON

Price $2.7.'

CARL FIJCHER. S$8SK: NEW YORK


Preface.

The author, following the form adopted in "First Lessons for the Harp" has
prepared these Advanced Lessons for the Harp" as a continuation of the first book,

in which the pupil is carried through the fundamental technic and the major keys.

The study of the minor keys naturally follows; therefore, the "Advanced Lessons" be-

gin with the minor scales and chords, each of these scales in their Harmonic form
being illustrated with a prelude, and enough examples of the Melodic minors to

give a clear understanding of them.

After this, a heretofore much neglected field has been given attention,- that of
the Enharmonic or four toned scale,- in which the tones of the tonic chords are dou-
bled on adjoining strings, while the sixth of the scale is produced by a single string.

These are carried through all major keys, showing how far this construction is pos-

sible.

Further on a few of the more common and natural forms used on the harp
have been illustrated with compositions, showing their general characteristics and
development from the simple minuet form.
The pupil who fully masters these volumes, can never be confused, or fail to un -

derstand the fundamental principals of theory or technic. It is with the hope that these

necessary principles have been made interesting and melodious, that this work is pre-
sented by

THE HARMONIC MINOR SCALE.


In the relation of the major and minor scale, we find the thought expressed throughout all

nature, the strong and the weak, - the major commanding; the minor following. This is particularly

evident in the relation of the major and the Harmonic minor scale, the masculine and the feminine

of the musical world; the one, plain, sturdy, frank, positive; the other, sensitive, complicated, fas-

cinating, clinging; the feminine complement of the masculine musical mind; both capable of the

expression of joy and grief. It does not then follow that the pathetic must at all times be ex -

pressed by the minor. It is rather a realization of the words; "The strong shall become weak,
and the weak shall wax strong."

The diatonic minor scales are built on the third below the tonic of the corresponding major
scale; for instance, the relative minor of the key of C is A minor, which is a third below C,
or the sixth of the scale of C. The minor scales have two distinct forms: — Harmonic and
Melodic.
The Harmonic minor scale is formed of — U — — U -I) U; and this form remains the same ascend-

ing and descending the scale.

(U indicates half tone.)


( — indicates whole tone.)

V —U indicates one and a half tone.)

Example of Harmonic minor scale; A minor, relative of C major.

This form is determined by the requirements of the ear, and therefore must serve as a pattern for all

Harmonic minor scales. It will be seen that to follow out this pattern of whole and half tones, itis neces-

sary to raise the seventh of the minor scale one half tone, and the form remains the same ascending
and descending the scale.
Thus we form the following general rule;

Build the Harmonic Minor scale with the keynote on the third below the keynote of the

corresponding major scale, retain the signature of the major scale, and raise the new
seventh one half tone ascending and descending the scale.
In the following we give the Harmonic minor scales, with the tonic, dominant and sub-dominate chords
of each, and a prelude to illustrate the use of each of these minor keys.

It will be noticed that in the Harmonic minor scales the raised seventh becomes a part of the signature,

in that we direct to fix the pedal, whatever it may be, similtaneously with the signature of the major key.

THE MELODIC MINOR SCALE
In the Melodic minor scale we have the link between the two forces, in that the
ascending scale is
closely allied to the Harmonic minor scale, while the descending scale is similar to the major scale .

A sort of musical affinity; capable of the breadth of thought and expression of both, giving and tak-
ing of the wealth and scope of both major and minor, and still retaining its individuality.
The Melodic minor scale is also built on the third below the key note of the corresponding major
scale. Its form is distinct from the Harmonic scale, in that it is built
— — — —
- - U ascending, of-U--
and U U — descending the scale.

Example of Melodic scale; A minor, relative of C major.

The Melodic Minor scale differs from the Harmonic Minor, in that, to satisfy the ear, for a mel-
odious progression, we must raise the sixth and seventh in ascending the scale, and restore them to
the original major form in descending it.
Accordingly the following rule holds good;
Build the Melodic Minor scales with the keynote on the third below the keynote of the cor-
responding major scale, raise the sixth and seventh one halftone ascending the scale,and
restore them to the original form of the major scale in descending the scale.
Following are the complete Melodic minor scales, and a few examples in the form
of preludes show-
ing their use.
It will be noticed that the pedal of the raised sixth and
seventh cannot be fixed with the signature
as in the Harmonic minor keys, but must be used as we find them as accidentals
in the melody.

The fundamental chords remain the same as in the Harmonic Minors.

THE GLISSANDO OR FOUR -TONED ENHARMONIC SCALE.
The Glissando, or four-toned enharmonic scale occurs when three tones are repeated on adjoining
strings. For instance; C\> on the C string and Bl) on the B string are enharmonic (that is, in perfect
harmony, or just alike). On the harp alone do we find this possible, viz; to repeat three of the tones of
the major tonic chord on separate strings, the sixth of the scale remaining the same. In the follow -
ing examples, the glissandos have been carried through all of the major keys by leaving the tonic chord
on 1 -3-5, of the scale, on their natural strings when the key is set, and by doubling the notes on the
adjacent strings. (— This mark is used to indicate when the tone is doubled, and the accidental pe-
)

dals have been carefully indicated. You will see that the keys are not all completely enharmonic, but
from one to three notes can be doubled in all keys.
Some modifications and variations of these forms have been given to show that they are not con-
fined to the tonic chords. Other effects can be made by doubling one or two notes, when three are
possible, thus leaving the third in regular scale form, and thereby giving an> interesting effect.

In the following pages some of the more natural and most common forms in use for the harp are
illustrated with compositions suitable for them. No attempt has been made to analyze these forms,
but rather to call attention to their general characteristics. Beginning with the introductory Prelude,
the dance forms in 3/ time follow in the order they sprung into life; first the Minuet, slow, stately
and graceful; then the Waltz, quicker, swinging and gliding; and next the Mazurka, with its peculiar
accent on the second beat of the measure.

These were followed by the military march, which came into existence when the first soldiers
went to war, and was later used in the more joyful, as well as solemn forms.

After this came the more sentimental forms. Of these the Ballade was first, then the Song With-
out Words, Romanze, etc; all resembling each other in construction, but each with a marked individual-
ity.

Many other forms are possible but in less common use. Only the more important ones can here re-

ceive attention.

THE MINUET.
The Minuet, from the Latin Minimus (the smallest), was the and simplest of dance forms. It is in 3/i
first
time, of a slow and stately movement, is danced in small dainty steps, accompanied by graceful poses, and was

much used in drawing room music about the time of Haydn. It is important in that all other dance forms have
sprung from it, by keeping the same rhythm and changing the accent or tempo. It is the only dance regularly
admitted into the modern sonata or symphony, and is frequently used in the suite and other forms of classical mu-
sic.

sixteen or thirty - two
measures, and each number has two themes, with a return to the first. These
are closely connected by
modulations, and often have an introductory passage. Usually of a light, flippant
character, though
Berlio* and Tachaikowsky used it in symphonic movements.

MAZURKA.
a lively Polish dance, of a skipping- character in i^ or '% t inic
:

The Mazurka followed the waltz and is

with the accent on the second beat of the measure: this makes a peculiar rhythmic construction that distin-
guishes it from all other dance*forms. In the concert mazurka, spoken of as the Ideal Mazurka, the tempo is
slow and dignified; while in the more brilliant concert mazurka it is rapid.

THE BALLADE.
The Ballade, the first of the sentimental forms, was originally the simplest, and used as a narrative song;
It was formed of two equal periods, each verse being sung to the same melody. In the instrumental
forms it has been elaborated with prelude, followed by the leading theme, which modulated into the sec-
ond theme, often more animated and brilliant, after which there is a return to the original theme, usually
varied and embellished.

R'OMANZE. Originally, a ballad, in the Romanze dialect; the name being later transferred to stories
of love and knightly adventure, which were often set to music. Later it was used in the inst-
